Conor Pope explains the new 'Mam & Dad WhatsApp Scam' that is preying on parents on WhatsApp and what people can do to prevent being tricked.
The scam involves hackers taking over people's WhatsApp accounts and sending messages to their parents asking for money. The parents aren't suspicious because the message appears to have come from their child.
This scam has been big in the UK and is now starting to appear in Ireland. Conor explains how his solution would be to call your children if they text you asking for money.
He also says how if the penny drops after you have sent the money, contact your bank immediately because they may be able to cancel the payment before it leaves your account.
Martin jokes about how if his children asked him for money, he would ask them a question that only they would know like 'what team does he support.' The answer would be Chelsea and Dublin.
