A scam or a con is a criminal practice typically conducted through WhatsApp. In this scenario, the scammer requests payment for the desired service to be made in advance. After receiving the payment, the service is not provided and the scammer stops responding to messages and blocks the contact. This behaviour is highly illegal so it is crucial to protect yourself and report such attempts.
