This is far from the first time this scam has appeared. It goes on to say that older users of the app “could quite easily think the app has gone back to its subscription model and get caught out.” It has said it will introduce less obtrusive security measures over the next six months.
“That means since 2016, the service has been free for every user.”
In 2016, this was scrapped by Facebook who took over running of the company after buying it for £11.4bn,” the organisation said. “Long term users of WhatsApp will remember paying a 0.99p annual fee to use the messaging service. The message then provides a link to a “customer portal” where an unwitting victim can provide their bank details.Īction Fraud, the national fraud and cyber crime reporting centre says the message is a clever way to dupe people but that users should be vigilant. To continue using WhatsApp without interuption, we need you to subscribe for any of our subscription periods.” “At the completion of your trial period your WhatsApp will no longer be able to send or receive message. “Our records indicate that your WhatsApp trial service is exceeding the one-year period,” it reads.
