In this paper, we studied scamming emanating from the use of free Android apps by conducting an online survey with respondents recruited from four tertiary institutions in Kebbi State, Nigeria. We found that the apps used for communication, such as Facebook and WhatsApp, have the highest number of users. Also, 55.26 % of users reported receiving scam messages that could be linked to their use of free apps, whereas 32.45 % of them were indeed defrauded by scammers. The study concludes that the free social media apps coupled with the characteristic of the users’ login credentials could be responsible for the high rate of scam messages that the respondents receive regularly. |

Am descoperit că aplicațiile folosite pentru comunicare, precum Facebook și WhatsApp, au cel mai mare număr de utilizatori. De asemenea, 55,26 % dintre utilizatori au raportat că au primit mesaje înșelătorii care ar putea fi legate de utilizarea aplicațiilor gratuite, în timp ce 32,45 % dintre aceștia au fost într-adevăr fraudați de escroci. Studiul concluzionează că aplicațiile gratuite de social media, cuplate cu caracteristicile acreditărilor de conectare ale utilizatorilor ar putea fi responsabile pentru rata mare de mesaje înșelătorii pe care respondenții le primesc în mod regulat.</p></description> </descriptions> <formats> <format>application/pdf</format> </formats> </resource>
