A fake version of the upcoming WhatsApp Business app is available to download from the Play store.

The app, which has been developed by an outfit calling itself “Whasp. Business Inc.”, has a surprisingly high rating, despite users describing it as a “fraud app” and “data theft”.

One user has also complained about being unable to login to it, with another saying it’s full of ads.

It was flagged up by Twitter user @MujtabaMHaq and WABetaInfo, and multiple users say they’ve reported it to Google.
