The message spreads via WhatsApp groups, or comes from a friend who “recommends” the service
A new WhatsApp scam is doing the rounds, promising users of the messaging app a free internet service, without needing to use WiFi.
As usual, the message spreads via WhatsApp groups, or comes from a friend who “recommends” the service – often unaware that it is a scam.
In this case, victims receive a special invitation with a link:
Clicking on the link takes the victim through to a page that tells them to share the message with at least 13 people in order to activate the free WiFi service.
The page contains fake comments from people who have supposedly tried the service, stating that it works, making the scheme appear credible.
