Scam of the Week: "Whatsapp Gold"

A new scam is doing the rounds. "Cyber criminals have released a fake "Gold Edition" version of the very popular Whatsapp messaging app, and it is being pushed via social networking websites.

This bogus version promises exclusive features like custom backgrounds and emoticons, but it actually subscribes you to high-cost messaging services that rips you off with $2 per text you send.

"This may also happen with the current texting-app you use, so do not fall for hacker tricks like this, which either drive up your phone bill, or download spyware or ransomware to your phone. The bad guys try to scam as many people as they can and promote that the app is available for both iOS and Android.

"Remember, legit smartphone apps do NOT ask for your mobile phone number and/or any other personal information so never give this out. Think before you click (or tap)!"

Alternatively, you can long press on a message to access a ‘Message Info‘ screen, detailing the times when the message was received, read or played.

It seems fully functional on my end. Maybe the other person also has to have the update for this to take affect?

It seems to be more of a server update than software update. Its probably rolling out slowly to all their users. I got it a few hours after my wife's phone did.

My testing shows its a server update + software update. Server update allows you to get the blue checks, software update allows others to see blue checks for your messages.
I tested and confirmed this on 3 different phones.
