After Tobias Mathis, Andrea Wilson is now unsettling users. She is also said to be a hacker and threatens all contacts.
The message is sent in English, but its content hardly differs from the German version. Andrea Wilson is said to be a hacker. Anyone who accepts their friend request will not only be hacked themselves, but will also endanger all other contacts in their friends list.
It's about the following message:

“Be careful: I got a message from you or it shown on your wall here.. Please tell all the contacts in your messenger list not to accept friendship request from Andrea Wilson. She is a hacker and has the system connected to your Facebook account. If one of your contacts accepts it, you will also be hacked, so make sure that all your friends know it. Thanks. Forwarded as received. Hold your finger down on the message. At the bottom in the middle it will say forward. Hit that then click on the names of those in your list and it will send to them THIS Is REAL”
The fact check
As already mentioned, the chain letter is not new.
It was already making the rounds in May 2017, and ( we reported ) nothing has changed even in terms of the wording. Even though it was written in English, it matches the versions of many other names that have emerged since then. The chain letter has been circulating on Facebook in one form or another since 2011 . Here it says: Don't accept the friend request!

Technically not possible: WhatsApp is there to exchange texts and small files with other users, also called “chat”. This means that a “hack” could only take place if someone was sent an infected file and opened it. But you cannot be “hacked” by simply accepting a contact and then they write to you.
The background
But where do warnings like the one about Tobias Mathis come from?
It all started with a so-called Moritz Häupl and a Christian Wick. In 2012, Christian Wick suddenly became Marcel Hohmann and then in 2014 Domenik Beuting and Andreas Opitz . It continued in 2015 with Ute Christoff. Ute Christoff became Ute Lehr and in 2017 it was the turn of Anouk Theiler Etc. etc.!
It is therefore a chain letter that may have arisen from a wide variety of observations. Nobody can prove anything anymore, you can only make assumptions.
