Dear Community Members,

It has come to our attention that there is a concerning trend of spamming and potential hacking targeting individuals through WhatsApp. Some members of our community have reported receiving messages soliciting donations and asking for WhatsApp verification codes.
Please be aware that these messages are likely part of a phishing scam aimed at exploiting unsuspecting individuals. Do not share any verification codes or personal information with unknown or unverified sources.

We want to assure you that we take this matter seriously and have already taken action by contacting the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police and filing an official report. In response, they have recommended that anyone who has fallen victim to these scams should immediately call 911 or visit their zone station for assistance.

Here are a few important points to keep in mind:

Stay Vigilant: Be cautious of any unsolicited messages asking for personal information or verification codes, especially if they claim to be related to donations or charity.

Verify Sources: Before engaging with any requests for information or donations, verify the identity and legitimacy of the sender through trusted channels.

Report Suspicious Activity: If you receive any suspicious messages or encounter questionable activity on WhatsApp, promptly report it to WhatsApp support and relevant authorities.
Educate Others: Spread awareness within our community about these phishing attempts and encourage others to remain vigilant against such scams.
Remember, your security and privacy are paramount. Let's work together to protect ourselves and our community against these malicious activities.
Stay safe, stay vigilant.
