WhatsApp scams are on the rise as scammers use various tactics to exploit users by seeking personal information or trying to steal their money. Scammers can use tactics such as tricking users into revealing their WhatsApp verification codes, sending fraudulent links to withdraw money, or sending malicious attachments.

The chat log reveals a person identifying as Lavanya, who claims to be an HR representative of a company, and claims that she obtained Chetty Arun’s contact details from professional networks such as “LinkedIn and Naukri.com.” She then provides information about the company and the position.
In response, Chetty Arun deviates from the professional conversation, compliments the name Lavanya and asks about its meaning. However, the scammer, posing as Lavanya, gives a polite acknowledgment and steers the discussion back to the job details, avoiding personal topics.
As the scammer starts asking for personal information such as occupation and gender for the job, Chetty humorously replies that he has plenty of money but is looking for love instead. The scammer’s response is equally witty and makes it clear that their program is for work, not love.
Amidst this chatter, Chetty continues to claim that love is scarce in the world, even citing conflicts in the Middle East as an example. Ultimately, it seems that after receiving these responses, the scammer abruptly left the chat, on a comic note.
