You should always be suspicious of chain letters on WhatsApp, as they often contain malicious links.
back in January 2018 , which is now being revived in a light version.
"Did you know that?
If you change your profile picture, WhatsApp keeps the old picture in its archive without permission. Click on the following link and you will see your first profile picture.”
Many users consider this chain letter to be credible given the data collection madness of social networks, regardless of the fact that it makes little sense for WhatsApp to keep the first profile picture.
And what happens when you tap on the link?
Fooled!
Then you get to see this:
Hehe. Funny. I look like a donkey with sunglasses.
So it's just a joke!
Maybe we're spoilsports, but unfortunately we have to point out that chain letters, especially on WhatsApp, very often contain harmful links.
Yes, this is just a joke, but it is easy to include a malicious link in such a chain letter instead of the link to the image, even if it is just a script running in the background of the page that displays the donkey .
Basic advice for chain letters
Don't forward it, just ignore it. And above all, please do not click on links in forwarded messages if you are not sure what is behind them. If necessary, ask the person who sent you such a message again.
Even if it's just a harmless image in this case, next time it could be a Trojan, malware or adware.
