I’m not certain what happens after you download it, I did not want to find out and haven’t yet found out from the people I know that shared it – but I would suggest you immediately delete it and change your password – and if you can scan your phone, disinfect your hands and go and sit in the corner for the rest of the day! ? The link takes you to a website like this ( ALARM BELLS YET?)Īlso as usual with these scams if look carefully at the message – is written in bad English, (worse than mine, even) with capital letters all over the place, there is no way that Whatsapp would advertise like that.ĪND it the link is NOT from Whatsapp but from a created URL by the scammers to looks like Whatsapp but of course its FAKE. So you must invite your friends before you can download.
Of course, not everyone can have this – its VIP don’t you know, it’s for special people who invited users only. See who has viewed your profile picture on Whatsapp.Private Messaging, while withholding your number.The promises on this new VIP scam are as follows Its more like an extention of the phishing scam Whatsapp Version 4.0 where the post action lists the extra features that you can get. This Whatsapp 4G VIP Scam is fooling users into thinking that it is a real update.
I’m sorry to be writing about Whatsapp again so soon and I’m sorry that it’s about yet ANOTHER Whatsapp hoax message but I had to warn you that there is a new scam going around – because I’ve seen it so many times already! Its similar to the last one Whatsapp 4.0.
