Meta, the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, has announced a worldwide anti-scam campaign to protect users from fraudulent activities during the holiday shopping season, reported AFP. This initiative comes as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to tackle the rising tide of online scams, particularly those targeting unsuspecting shoppers.
