Fake Messages for "Whatsapp": "Free use for your account expires within 48 hours"

The "Rights Window": it's a scam. Whatsapp you do not pay and the account should not be renewed. Delete the messages because a click can be fatal for our device and for the stealing of our personal data. The Postal Police also invites to pay attention to "PS On Line Commissariat"

(by Giovanni D'Agata) Beware of scam messages that tell us that Whatsapp will no longer be free and if you do not renew it you can lose all media content such as video, photos, etc .... An event almost a heart attack for many, because the instant messaging tools have become irreplaceable in the lives of many of us and the related archives may contain not only moments of our existence and that of our loved ones, friends and acquaintances, but also useful documentation for our profession. This is well known by hackers and telematic fraudsters who take advantage of the possibility of our distractions caused by the panic that such a message can create us, to illegally enter our devices and steal our data, for the most disparate uses.

Among all, to clear the current accounts or use our credit cards. That's why it is not a day that we at the "Rights Window" do not report what types of fraudulent tools can be sent to our email accounts, via SMS or instant messaging apps, like the one relaunched by the Postal Police on his Facebook page "Commissario di PS On Line - Italy" with a post with lots of screenshots of the typical text message that invites us to renew our "Whatsapp" account: "The methods change but the substance is the same. It is one of the most frequent scams on the net. ": This is the content of the communication of the Postal Police that invites us to raise the threshold of our attention and provides us with the most banal, but also most effective, advice to avoid falling in the trap.

It is good to remember once again - underlines Giovanni D'Agata, president of the "Rights Desk" - that "Whatsapp", at least for the near future and unless otherwise indicated by the developers and owners of the brand, is a completely free application. In this sense, it should be emphasized that the owners of the App including Whatsapp use specific channels for their updates and in particular the Apple Store for the IOS systems of Apple devices and the Market Stores (including Google Play Store) for Android devices. It is therefore evident that these messages are false and must simply be deleted to avoid harmful consequences for our devices. In case you are still caught in the fraud you can contact the experts of our association through our email contacts info@sportellodeidiritti.org or signalazioni@sportellodeidiritti.org to immediately evaluate all the appropriate solutions to avoid prejudices.
