Did a child try to send you 42 thousand this summer? The police recently warned about WhatsApp scams. As far as I know, first in the Ostrava region, and lastly in the \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice region. For example here: https:\/\/policie.gov.cz\/clanek\/falesne-deti-opet-utoci.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But of course it doesn't matter where you are physically. Everything happens online. My mom texted my "sister" like this over the weekend. And she's neither in Ostrava nor in Bud\u011bjovice...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the child writes an SMS saying that he has a problem with his mobile phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then the communication continues on WhatsApp, where he asks for money (usually a payment of around CZK 40,000, of course to someone else's account). People have already sent around three million crowns this way for vacations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
