Activate WhatsApp Calls
A new feature, a new success and a new scam History repeats itself with WhatsApp and their calls And it seems that there is no way to prevent their success from being used by others to do evil. With the fever to get WhatsApp calls, there are already applications that take advantage of this function and the most naive users , offering the supposed and sought-after feature, although the result is the subscription to a high-rate paid SMS message service.
This is being alerted by the Internet User Security Office, which has sounded the alarm upon discovering an application on theGoogle Play application store seeking to capture the attention of naive users with calls from WhatsApp Your Its own name has already allowed it to position itself in the app store and call the attention of between 100,000 and 500,000 users who have already downloaded it. It's called Activate WhatsApp Calls and it's a scam
According to the OSI, this application only has a guide inside that ensures to activate the call function of WhatsApp, although in reality it is the process of subscribing to a SMS Premium service with somequite high costs Something that is only appreciable if you read the fine print, where you can see what is really hidden behind this false application.
Users who have fallen for the scam should avoid as far as possible giving out the phone number through their page registration or supposed tutorial. If they have, it is recommended to call your telephone operator to ask if your number is subscribed to any SMS Premium service and unsubscribe as soon as possible, if applicable.
As on every occasion, the best thing to do in these cases is to always use common sense And it is that the calls of WhatsApp are not yet available to everyone. This is a function in testing or beta state That is why its activation is being limited, and can only be activated through the another user's call, and not through third-party applications.
In addition, we recommend research the applications that will be installed on the device before downloading them. A simple peek at its creator (below the application name), or a peek at the comments , lets you know if you are a trustworthy developer and if the application has worked well for other users. Finally, if you decide to download, it never hurts to watch the permissions that the user is asked for, trying to ascertain which function they will use each of the permissions for, and doubting the applications that many request for a very specific function.
With all this, those users eager to get the expected function of WhatsApp, must wait and avoid falling into this type of trap At the moment they are in the testing phase and their operation is neither reliable nor completely efficient.If no one in the environment has the function, it is best to wait for WhatsApp to activate it for everyone.
