The second I saw this, I checked how much it shared.
It bloody shares EVERYTHING ! Even if Messages pops up your otp in notifications, the other person can see it.
First thing I did was get my parents on call, explain it, and essentially not click on that button that with anyone at all.

This is a pure crap update, and for sure a lot of educated folks are going to fall for scams.

Thanks for sharing! Read this today morning and my mom recieved a video call on WhatsApp just a few minutes back! Thankfully I was nearby and didn't pick it up. I tried to video call him and now this guy won't pick up. Attaching the number and chat below. Please be aware!

I keep getting calls from some automated voice that says it's an HR representative from some QIOU-something company, about a job opportunity. Immediately cut and blocked the calls.

While the numbers seem to vary, here are two numbers from which I got the same call today:
+91-9092992568
+91-9373683912

Same story here. Says 'hello' twice at the beginning of the conversation acting like a human at the other end who is not able to hear you properly at the first instance.
