Absolutely do not download Wha

If somebody is telling you about WhatsApp Gold and telling you to download it… don’t do it.

WhatsApp users have reported receiving messages urging them to sign up for the service via the WhatsApp Gold website which is linked to in the message.

The message claims that the app has extra features and that this version of WhatsApp was previously only available to “top celebrities”. The scam message says ability to send hundreds of pictures at once, new emojis, video calling, enhanced security features and more customisation options.

But it’s all a lie. Downloading the app will infect your phone with malware and could allow cybercriminals to steal your data.

There’s been a spate of WhatsApp Gold messages recently, but the scam has existed in different forms for a while, sometimes under the name ‘WhatsApp Plus’.

So, if you get a message like this one above, block and report that number.
