The suicide of a 12-year-old girl in Argentina is reportedly being linked to something called as the Momo challenge.
Momo is a social media account on WhatsApp, Facebook, and YouTube, which is using the image of a horror artwork called Mother Bird by Link Factory to induce curiosity among children, challenging them to communicate with an unknown number, The Sun reported.
The creepy account appears to be connected to three numbers in Japan, Mexico, and Columbia. If a user refuses to follow the game’s orders, Momo threatens them with violent images. As per cybercrime experts, Momo challenge is nothing but a hoax which is aimed at stealing information.

The Blue Whale challenge has reportedly consumed nearly 100 individuals lives in India itself in the last year. The deadly online game challenges players for over 50 days, demanding them to complete tasks given by an anonymous controller.
The game initially asks the player to draw a whale on a piece of paper, then carve a whale figure on their body, and then gives other tasks such as watching horror movies alone at odd hours. The task concludes with the final challenge, that is, committing suicide.
