WhatsApp and dark mode! We warn you about this WhatsApp message

WhatsApp warning – the most important thing to start with:

  1. WhatsApp users receive a chain letter about “dark mode”.
  2. But this message is not from WhatsApp.
  3. If you believe the news, you are falling into a trap.

Many WhatsApp users are waiting for the so-called “dark mode”, which will probably come soon. However, fraudsters take advantage of this! A WhatsApp message that you receive from WhatsApp friends always says that you can now activate “Dark Mode” if you click on a certain link.

This is what this message looks like:

In fact, there will be a “dark mode” for WhatsApp , but the link in the message leads somewhere else entirely!

If you tap on the link, you should first answer which operating system you have and then share the message to 20 (!) contacts or groups. If you have sent the fraudulent WhatsApp message to your friends, you will always be redirected to other websites.

After that it gets strange, because depending on the country you come to different sites, but they all have one thing in common: they are dubious competition sites or subscription traps. It cannot be ruled out that certain sites spread so-called malware.

And “Dark Mode”? Of course you won't get this!
