Beware of cyber fraudsters coming for your ‘likes’; cases rise high in Kerala

KOCHI: If you are offered a part-time job by people hiring you for increasing ‘likes’ and subscribers on YouTube, beware of signing up! Last month, as many as five persons in Kochi lost their hard-earned money to cyber fraudsters who recruited them with such enticements. On March 22, a Fort Kochi native received a message on WhatsApp regarding a job with a company claiming to help Youtubers get more subscribers and ‘likes’. The victim was offered Rs 50 for each click of the ‘like’ button. As the job was relatively easy and the remuneration attractive, she accepted the job.
