There will soon be a “dark mode” on WhatsApp. Data collectors use this to claim that it can be activated now.
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:

“Hey! Take a look:
[LINK]
The new WhatsApp dark mode is here.
I already did it.”
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.

After that it gets strange, because depending on the country you go to different pages, but they all have one thing in common:
always supposedly took part in a survey, always have to spin a wheel of fortune, always “win” a voucher.

However, you don't get a real voucher; instead, you give your data to a dubious organizer who has nothing to do with Media Markt, nor with any other market or company. Instead, the data is sold to call centers and advertising companies, and you can expect a lot of spam calls and emails.
And “Dark Mode”? Of course you won't get that!
