If you receive a message that seems suspicious, follow these steps to protect yourself:
- Do Not Engage: Avoid responding to the message or clicking on any links or attachments.
- Verify the Sender: If the message appears to be from someone you know, contact them through a different method (e.g., phone call, email) to verify its legitimacy.
- Report the Message: Use FaceCall’s built-in reporting features to report the message. This helps the platform take action against potential scams.
- Block the Sender: Block the sender to prevent further communication from them.
- Delete the Message: Remove the suspicious message from your conversation history to avoid accidental interaction.
A few key points to remember:
- If a message seems suspicious or too good to be true, refrain from tapping, sharing, or forwarding it.
- Always inspect a link or file closely before opening it to avoid potential security risks.
- It is advisable not to forward a message if you are uncertain about its authenticity or the identity of the sender.
- If you are unsure about the identity of an unknown contact, you can ask them a personal question to confirm their identity or conduct a voice or video call with them.
- Additionally, you have the option to report the message, block the sender, and delete the message.
It's important to note that FaceCall is a free app, and you are not required to pay to use it.
