Whatsapp

[Sqad]

A message came on Whatsapp saying that it had to be updated in 13 days or cancelled.
Is this a scam?

Are they asking for 99p to update it?

[Sqad]

No Tilly.

Scam.

Well, there is a scam on Whatsapp asking for money for updating.

I suspect a scam, but if you wanted to update it doing so from the legitimate source, not a received link or message info, should protect you.

How long have you had it? We had to uninstall and reinstall it after a year, because it was only free for a year.

I've had it for over 3 years and never had to uninstall or pay. I don't believe there is a legitimate 'free trial'.

[Sqad]

pixie..it said I have 13 days.

Thanks folks, I thought it was a scam.

Whatsapp is free and has been for some time ...

Probably not by the look of the link. None of us were asked for any details, it just stopped working.

[Prudie]

I'll ring you in 14 days and see if it works :-)
