Is this a scam and fraud?

Today, on May 12, I have received a message on WhatsApp, whose number is [phone], I have received a message from this number, which I will also put a screenshot of it on the screen that there is unethical activity in my account, my account is zero balance account, there is not even that much transaction in my account, but I have to know that it is a fraudulent message, I have checked the number on the third caller. If the number is from Indonesia, then you are telling about RBI, so please tell me, please tell me whether it is a fraud scammer.

    Yes, this is 100% a fraudulent scam. You did exactly the right thing by questioning it and checking the number! ​Here is why you can be completely certain it is a fraud: ​The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) never sends WhatsApp messages to individuals about their personal bank accounts, let alone from an international number (like Indonesia). ​Scammers use "fear tactics" (claiming there is "unethical activity") to panic you into clicking dangerous links or sharing your personal banking details. ​As you mentioned, since it is a zero-balance account with barely any transactions, there is nothing for them to flag. They are just sending mass messages hoping someone bites. ​What you should do now: ​Do not reply to the message. ​Do not click on any links or download any attachments they sent. ​Block and Report the number directly on WhatsApp.
