In this case, her name and old video clips are being misused without her consent to attract attention and spread harmful links.

What is Sarah Baloch viral video?

The so-called “viral MMS video” circulating in her name is not real. It has been created by stitching together unrelated, older clips of the influencer and adding a blurred thumbnail with provocative text.

The content has nothing to do with Sarah Baloch. The video is only a bait designed to push users towards unsafe websites.

What is the Assam link?

To make the scam look believable in India, cybercriminals have attached a local hook. The posts claim that the video is connected to an “Assam incident” or “shocking news from Assam.”

There is no such incident. The Assam angle is only used to trigger curiosity and make users in India more likely to click the link.

How the viral video or MMS scam works

The phishing trap follows a simple pattern:

• The hook: A blurred image of Sarah Baloch with a sensational headline mentioning Assam
• The redirect: The link opens suspicious websites instead of a genuine news report
• The trap: Users are asked to “verify age” or log in to social media, which captures their data
• Once clicked, hidden scripts can install spyware or adware on the device.

What happens if you click the link?

Clicking or downloading the fake MMS link can lead to serious consequences:

• Malware gets installed on your phone
• Bank details and OTPs can be stolen
• Private photos, contacts and documents can be accessed

Financial fraud can happen within minutes

Sharing the same link with others can also expose more people to the scam and may lead to legal trouble.

Warning signs you should not ignore

Users can identify such scams by looking for these red flags:

• A foreign influencer linked to a local Assam event
• Suspicious or shortened URLs that do not belong to trusted websites
• Pages asking you to share the link with WhatsApp groups to unlock the video

These are classic signs of a viral phishing campaign.

What to do if you received or clicked the link

If such a message reaches you, act quickly:

• Do not click or share the link
• Delete the message and inform the sender it is harmful
• Clear your phone browser cache and cookies
• Check app permissions and remove unknown apps
• Enable two-factor authentication on banking and social media apps
