A phishing email sent by fraudsters is still circulating. This will ask you to update your WhatsApp.
It's about this email, which has been landing in internet users' inboxes since the beginning of June:

Dear Customers,
Your account is having problems with your current billing, This is an automatic response will be sent if any information is missing or incorrect. (If you do not know within 24 hours your account will be deactivated).
UPDATE NOW
update your payment information. It only takes a few minutes to update your payment information. We wish you every opportunity to provide payment for their services and hope that quickly on your part the situation will be resolved. Please do not reply to this email. It is an automatically generated notification sent from an unmonitored address.
At first glance, users are confused because the email appears to come from WhatsApp itself. However, if you read the text, it quickly becomes clear that this cannot be a serious message.
The broken German makes it very difficult to believe, to say the least.
However, if you are still tempted to update your payment information because you don't want your WhatsApp account to be deactivated within the next 24 hours, you will reach the following page:

Yes, it looks like it is a WhatsApp website because the logo and colors match, but you are falling victim to a nasty scam.
As soon as you reveal your data here, it immediately ends up in the hands of fraudsters. Among them are
- the full name
- date of birth
- the credit card number as well
- the telephone number.
Mimikama tip:
WhatsApp itself never makes contact via email because only the current phone number is stored in the account.
If you leave the requested data to the fraudsters, they may be able to identity theft . After receiving such an email, it can safely go into the trash!
