This is the new hoax about WhatsApp payment messages

The hoaxes and lies about WhatsApp or that circulate to Through this application they continue to flood the conversations and chats from all over the world. And it is that, either by those users fearful of all the information that reaches them, or by who do not have any problem in share any content, this type of message ends up running through group conversations like wildfireRegardless of whether you are spreading a rumor or a lie and misinforming other people. Something that happens again with the alleged charge for each WhatsApp message Again, a lie that appears again in this application.

This is a message informing about the new charge for WhatsApp This would consist of starting to demand the payment of one euro cent for each message sent, as stated in the hoax. Completely false information that only misleads the most unsuspecting users, as well as promoting its dissemination. And it is that the message itself encourages it to be shared with others ten contacts An action that many are carrying out without thinking about the true consequences of this act

Message displays the Emoji emoticon of a red circle which pretends to be an information indicator.Thus, it affirms that, by sending said message to ten contacts, said light will become blue, confirming that you have avoided the new charging system for WhatsApp One lie after another that only serves to distribute this message through more chats and reach more users Even when the message does not steal information or do any harm beyond creating uncertainty among users of WhatsApp

Given this, the main thing is to use common sense First of all, WhatsApp does not inform about its company policies through a message that arrives mysteriously from other contacts. Secondly, the Emoji emoticons are, precisely, static icons, and not some other type of indicators of a payment that is not even registered in the policies ofWhatsAppFinally, do not trust the information where not even the name of the application is spelled correctly It is also worth remembering that WhatsApp is an application that costs one euro a year , without other prices or integrated purchases that vary this figure in the slightest.

But the main key to avoiding this type of hoax is to don't forward the message, not even just in case. This action only means spreading the rumor and increasing the misinformation of more users. Precisely the mission of the message itself created by some prankster.

That is why authorities such as the Civil Guard continue to remember and denounce these lies through their official Twitter account Something to inform the most gullible users about the true nature of this type of message, avoiding in any way as far as possible that they are shared and end up misleading new usersSomething that, at the moment, only has the potential to misinform, but, if it were some kind of virus, it would end up infecting thousands of users simply by giving in to the demands of what it puts in a message.
