WiFi Scam: Whenever we see the word free, we get attracted to it very quickly. After that we stop thinking about the thing that we are getting for free. We do not think about whether this thing is really beneficial for us or not. If we are getting it for free, we just keep it. In the online world of the Internet, hackers trap common people in their net by luring them with free things.
Apps with free Wi-Fi
Now in this digital age, most people need Internet and WiFi. Without it, our work cannot be done. From chatting to making payments, we need internet access for everything. Because of this, some apps are coming in the market for mobile phones that claim to give you free WiFi.
Ads of free Wi-Fi apps are seen on all social media platforms including Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and even in Google search results, which claim to provide you free Wi-Fi for life. As soon as you install and open these apps, you will see many options to connect to Wi-Fi and the passwords of many Wi-Fi connections will also appear on your screen, but they will never connect.
Don’t fall into the trap of fake apps
Apps that offer free Wi-Fi do not connect because all these apps are fake. As soon as you download and install these apps on your phone, they steal all the personal details present in your phone such as bank account details, passwords, contact list, chats etc., through which you can be harmed a lot in the future. To steal the personal data of users, such apps show false advertisements of providing free Wi-Fi and most people install these apps on their phones as soon as they see it is free.
In such a situation, our advice to you is that you should never download any free WiFi apps and do not connect your phone to free WiFi connections available at any public place like railway station, hospital etc. Hackers plan to trap people through these free WiFi connections.
