Imagine there is a user, her name is Ute Christoff, who is on WhatsApp and has nothing to do other than spread viruses. But not only that. There are also dubious new WhatsApp functions that you can get via “WhatsApp Gold”. Or how about a free voucher from H&M? And what about your phone number, which Facebook has now copied?
Lots of news that makes users curious. Everyone sounds dubious.
But they have one thing in common: These are chain letters that are not correct. In other words, these are false reports.
Today we want to give you an overview of which chain letters are currently on WahtsApp:
1. Ute Christoff
Apparently you shouldn't accept contact with Ute Christoff because it's a virus that steals data.
Not true! We reported about it here…
2. WhatsApp GOLD
Apparently there are already warnings on the radio that there is a WhatsApp Gold update. However, this is a Trojan. Even if it is on “ZDF”, it is not a current warning. In other words, it once existed, but it's not current at the moment!
So that's not true! We reported about it here…
3. Facebook copies all phone numbers
Apparently the Facebook team copied all the numbers so that Facebook can check whether users are forwarding messages.
Not true! We reported about it here…
4. 100 EUR H&M voucher
Apparently there is a 100 EUR H&M voucher to win via WhatsApp. But this simply doesn't exist. Internet fraudsters are pursuing a different goal with this scam. You want to lure users into a subscription trap.
Not true! We reported about it here…
5. 50 cents for a single WhatsApp message?
Apparently you have to send a message to 20 contacts in order to change the font color. If you don't do this, WhatsApp will now charge the user 0.50 cents for each individual message sent.
Not true! We reported about it here…
6. Teresa Fidalgo
Apparently a Teresa Fidalgo, who has actually been dead for 26 years, writes to users. If the recipient doesn't send the message to 20 other people, then the deceased would crawl into bed forever and ever.
Not true! We reported about it here…
7. animated emojis for WhatsApp
A message is constantly sent promising new animated smileys and emoticons. BUT BE CAREFUL! Porn sites and subscription traps are hidden behind it!
Not true! We reported about it here…
