An e-wallet scam is a fraudulent attempt to steal money or personal information from someone using an electronic wallet, also known as a mobile wallet. Scammers use common types of scams like phishing, smishing, vishing, fake apps, QR code scams, social engineering, and man-in-the-middle attacks to achieve their goal. To avoid e-wallet scams, it is important to be cautious of unsolicited messages, never click on suspicious links or download attachments, only download apps from official stores, be careful when scanning QR codes, use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication, keep devices updated, and report any scams to the authorities and e-wallet provider.
