WhatsApp Scam Alert: Can Replying ‘NO’ Empty Your Bank Account? | V.C. Sajjanar | The Breakfast Club

Can replying with just one word put your bank account at risk — even if you haven’t clicked a link or shared an OTP?Hyderabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar has warned about a reported WhatsApp scam in which a chartered accountant allegedly lost ₹1.7 lakh after replying “NO” to a fake bank-debit alert. The exact technical mechanism behind the reported fraud remains unverified, highlighting the need to distinguish the police warning from claims about how the attack works. On The Breakfast Club, Advocate N.S. Nappinai of the Supreme Court discusses how people are conditioned to respond to banking messages and how scammers can exploit familiar behaviour through social engineering. Staying alert at all times is difficult, but independently verifying suspicious alerts is essential. n18oc_the-breakfast-clubn18oc_indiaNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
