In recent times there is a sudden spurt in fraud happening through popular social media platforms. It is called as identity theft , where the fraudster will steal the identity of someone and will send messages in his name. Few days back i recieved a message from one of my friend who asked me to send 25k immediately saying he was in ICU..Since the friend was close i was committed, but still wanted to check.
