Another WhatsApp scam message is back and making the rounds just a fewmonths after the UAE issued a warning against a virus that plagued itsusers, Khaleej Times reported.Although the ‘WhatsApp Gold’ virus update has been debunked, which startedback in 2016, the scam message referenced it to make it more believable,according to Standard.co.uk.Some users have recently received a message that stated: “Today the radiowas talking about Whatsapp Gold and it’s true. There is a video that willbe launched tomorrow in Whatsapp and is called Martinelli, do not open it.
Goes into your phone and nothing you do will fix it. Spread the word if youknow someone. If you receive a message to update Whatsapp Gold, do not openit! They just announced that the virus is serious. Send it to everyone.”Either way, make sure you do not download WhatsApp gold to prevent thehack, as it will only install malware on your phone. – APP
