Never click a photo, gif or link in a message unless you are absolutely sure it is from someone you trust. After all, there's always a possibility that their phone could get hacked in the future, meaning your financial details could be shared with scammers. Remember these rules even if you are completely sure of who you are talking to. All it takes is one tap of the 'Forward' button, and your info can be shared with the world. This also includes images of your ID cards, credit cards or any sensitive documents or forms.
Never share your bank details, PIN codes or passwords. It's a very simple but powerful tool, because even if a hacker manages to get your log in details, they won’t be able to load your WhatsApp account on their phone. WhatsApp and many other messaging services let you enable ‘2-step verification’, which requires you to create a 6-digit PIN. You'll occasionally need to enter this PIN to view your messages, and you'll also need it in case you ever want to register your WhatsApp to a different phone number.
