WARNING WHATSAPP etc

[Airspeed]

Just been warned that especially if you use Whatsapp on your mobile, DO NOT OPEN
martinelli
OR
Dance of the Pope
Either of them will format your phone's operating system, and apparently neither are fixable.
DO NOT TAKE OPTION TO UPGRADE TO WATSAPP GOLD it is another trap!!

'Tis a hoax Mike. It's a repeat of a similar hoax a few years ago. Just checked at Sophos website.

Thanks Chris.
Received it from a neighbour who quoted it word for word on our fire-watch whatsapp group. She's in business, and I thought she was writing personally.
No fool like an old fool.
