    WhatsApp transactions gone wrong
  • E-commerce through WhatsApp poses a problem which concerns the transacted products' 'genuinity'.

    Absence of regulations and lack of monitoring by a third party gives the opportunity for counterfeiters to operate through WhatsApp.

    WhatsApp-based transactions occur in an end-to-end encrypted mode. This is preferred by counterfeiters since they do not leave a trail and remain off the radar of the tax authorities.

    This is a helpful tool for marketers to reach their potential customers.
