Beware! 'WhatsApp without Internet' fake message doing rounds

Did you click on the new link that landed in your inbox?

For a while now, a certain message with a provision regards to 'WhatsApp without Internet' has been making rounds. Beware, for they are fake!

These messages provide users with a link in order to enable the so-called Internet-free WhatsApp service, which in turn directs the user to a website called ‘WhatsAppNoData.com’.

This fake/unauthorised webpage asks you to add your contact number for further authentication. If a user falls for the trap, the same message along with ‘WhatsAppNoData.com’ link automatically gets sent further to 12 other users and three random groups in their WhatsApp contact list.
