However, at times, some provoking pictures and messages are posted to convince the most incredulous about the nature of the network. Administrators get paid via Orange Money, using a WhatsApp group to stay in touch with their clients and conduct business. This is done in order to preserve the identity of both clients and workers.

People that therefore voluntarily contact such groups should be extremely careful…
