Profits are not the only thing brought by the voice calls in WhatsApp. We are sure that some of you are also worried about this.

According to RedesZone, this new service has reactivated, and made more believable, an old scam. Do you want to know how does it work? We will tell you! If you wonder how it works, keep reading…

• You receive an email which informs you that you have a pending voice message, supposedly/technically from a friend/ one of your contacts.
• If we want to listen to it, we just have to click on the “autoplay” button in the email.

 

If there was any doubt, you are not downloading a voice message, instead you are downloading malware.

That’s why, so you don’t fall for this kind of scams, you should take this into account:

• WhatsApp doesn’t send notifications for pending messages.
• If we look closely to the sender’s address: [email protected], we will see it doesn’t have to do anything with WhatsApp.
• The application won’t never refer to itself as Whats App.

The best thing you can do is just ignore these emails and install in your computer the best antivirus, which will block the malware in your computer.
