These WhatsApp Scams are here for a long time…And most of the people never learn anything and they lose money again and again. When I receives such messages, I usually click the **Report and Block** button on WhatsApp Anyway, Happy to see the Govt taking prompt actions 👍🏻 > **[WhatsApp banned over 74 lakh Indian accounts in April amid rising spam calls...](https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/whatsapp-banned-over-74-lakh-indian-accounts-in-april-amid-rising-spam-calls-and-messages-2388034-2023-06-02)** > > WhatsApp banned more than 74 lakh Indian accounts in April 2023.
