report to the police on the paynow number.

collaborate with the police to catch the scammer by pretending to send the money.
the police will catch the scammer redhanded.

you will be in the news for good citizen award !

this is called "scam the scammer"

for example, if you texts and the scammer reply long enough, police can trace the scammer location with help from Facebook.

Scammers are not scary because you can tell that they are doing things illegally.

the most scary thing is those people who take money from you legally like 9% GST.

ok so it seems once whatsapp account hacked scammer and the actual person can msg others CONCURRENTLY.
thats the scary part...

"As victims can still access their WhatsApp accounts while scammers are concurrently using them, the victims will only discover their accounts have been compromised when they are notified by their contacts of "unusual requests", said the police."
