    I am told it's a message inviting you to upgrade to Whats App Gold
    I understand that if taken up it puts a virus on your mobile which renders your phone useless
    Don't know any more than that Roma so just avoid if you get the message

    Never ceases to amaze me the folk who do this shyte .

    Clearly they know their way around technology and have skills if tha can call it that .

    So why not put it to some use and earn thi sen a dam good living working in technology .

    What do they get out of buggering up people's phones ?

    I also got a text message saying WhatsApp had expired and I needed to pay a small fee to renew. Obviously don’t respond

    Bit more info

    WhatsApp Gold

    Another WhatsApp hoax offers an exclusive invitation to upgrade to a premium version of the app, called WhatsApp Gold. It's complete and utter rubbish: there is no WhatsApp Gold.

    "The invitation reads: "Hey Finally Secret Whatsapp golden version has been leaked, This version is used only by big celebrities. Now we can use it too."

    It claims to allow you to delete messages after you've sent them, and simultanously send 100 pictures, among other things. It sounds great, but it's entirely made up. Click on the link in the invitation and you're more likely to end up with a malware infection. (See how to remove a virus from Android if you've already done so.)

    It is a scam that uses the fraudsters favourite trick - that it's possible to get something for nothing.

    Labour voters beware.
