Many questions are asked from people on this website. People are asked to furnish phone numbers, emails. Even wallet numbers are sought. There have been many reports of people being duped.
This pattern has been noticed in many scams. Cybercriminals use the information to hack their electronic devices and steal data. They also sell your personal information making you vulnerable to online fraud.
We also found that Assam based- Bongaigaon Times- has also warned people on social media about this scam.
Hence, the viral link is a hoax.
