The ZDDK editorial team is currently receiving inquiries from users for whom “WhatsApp” (but only for the Android version) has been automatically renewed.
We have very little background information. However, we know that there were users who had already paid for WhatsApp but others had not.
We assume that WhatsApp apparently extends free of charge user accounts who have ignored the provider's payment instructions as a goodwill gesture.
Some users are currently seeing a pop-up window like this:
It says:
As a gesture of goodwill, we have extended your service until July 24, 2015.
Please consider paying for your WhatsApp account
OK
Info: The DATE can vary from user to user.
This is NOT likely to be a FAKE and no fraudsters are likely to have a hand in this.
Now what is this message about?
- Did you get a goodwill extension today and have you ever paid anything for WhatsApp?
