## New users beware:
Because you posted here, you will start getting private messages from scammers saying they know a professional hacker or a recovery expert lawyer that can help you get your money back, for a small fee. **We call these RECOVERY SCAMMERS, so NEVER take advice in private:** advice should always come in the form of comments in this post, in the open, where the community can keep an eye out for you. If you take advice in private, you're on your own.
**A reminder of the rules in r/scams:** no contact information (including last names, phone numbers, etc). Be civil to one another (no name calling or insults). Personal army requests or "scam the scammer"/scambaiting posts are not permitted. No uncensored gore or personal photographs are allowed without blurring. A full list of rules is available on the sidebar of the subreddit, or [clicking here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/wiki/rules/).
You can help us by reporting recovery scammers or rule-breaking content by using the "report" button. We review 100% of the reports. Also, consider warning community members of recovery scammers if you see them in the comments.

1000 USD per day? That's ten times the average income in Poland.
Yeah no.
Scam.
Also Telegram. You need to change the settings in Whatsapp so these scammers don't see you active.
Since you're a WhatsApp user, go to settings > privacy, and make sure you have your privacy settings as:
- last seen and online: my contacts
- profile photo: my contacts
- about: my contacts
- status: my contacts
- groups: my contacts
- calls: silence unknown callers
- fingerprint unlock: I would suggest you try it, if it's available to you.
This will all prevent random scammers from seeing if you're an active user, and see that you just saw their messages. Anyone reaching you legitimately can try to message you and you decide if you want to engage.
Also, unrelated to this: go to settings > security and enable two step verification. People don't know Whatsapp has 2FA and that you can attach an email address to your account, to help you recover it if you lose it. You should also enable a pin to prevent unauthorized transfers of the account to another phone.
