Back in January, one of our team members had got a random message with a contact card to call a certain 'Diya', whose number gave an Ivory Coast address. Using pictures of women and sending spam links on social media is a fairly tried and tested method of ensuring chaos on the Internet. It seems like WhatsApp has become a hotbed for cyber scammers. By that limited time invite method, a person could activate their friends' WhatsApp calling feature by giving them a call via WhatsApp.

It has however, not been officially rolled out. Also WhatsApp had activated the invite-feature for some users for a short period of time last month, so those users can still use WhatsApp calling feature. We have read news about how WhatsApp is testing this feature in India. WhatsApp calling feature is one which is eagerly being looked forward to by everyone. However, some users claim to have used it. WhatsApp has not announced the calling feature officially. However, the survey forces people to download applications and software that might contain dangerous malware. WhatsApp users across the world are being targeted by cyber scammers who are circulating fake messages inviting users to test the new calling feature that fills the phone with dangerous malware.Īccording to the Daily Star, if users click on the link, they are taken to another website where they are asked to take a survey on behalf of the popular messaging service.
