Whatsapp Gold: Why You Should NEVER Upgrade To The 'premium' Version Of Whatsapp by ipreach: 9:33pm On Jul 03, 2016
"Hey Finally Secret Whatsapp golden version has been leaked, This version is used only by big celebrities. Now we can use it too. Click this link to download...."

If you did click the link, you've been made a fool of.

If you have received an exclusive invitation to install a "limited edition" version of the popular messaging app called WhatsApp Gold, don't be fooled.
There is only one version of WhatsApp, and it's the version you are already using.
Victims of the scam have reportedly received a message that says: "Hey Finally Secret Whatsapp golden version has been leaked, This version is used only by big celebrities. Now we can use it too."
The upgrade claims to offer new features such as the ability to have video chats, send 100 pictures at once, and delete messages after you have sent them.

Users are then asked to click on a link to download the update.

However, the link takes them to website that is riddled with malicious software, infecting their smartphones with nasty viruses.

It is not known how many people have been received the message. However, it seems to have mainly infected Android devices.

If you receive the message, delete it straight away and install antivirus software on your phone - which you should download directly from the Google Play app store.
