Lately, many users of the WhatsAppMessenger application, and not only that, have received emails informing them that the free service offered by the application will soon become paid. To avoid charging the messages sent through the application, users were asked to send a message to at least 10 people from the list and their application icon will turn red and the messages will not be charged. Any person with minimal knowledge about iOS would have caught from this scheme that everything is just a hoax, but many did not realize this, so some messages started to be sent through the WhatsAppMessenger network.
WhatsApp is going to cost us money soon. The only way that it will stay free is if you are a frequent user ie you have at least 10 people you are chatting with. To become a frequent user send this message to 10 people who receive it (2 ticks) and your WhatsApp logo should turn Red to indicate a frequent user.
Above you have one of the messages sent to the users and developers of the application warns us that it is 100% fake and that the application will still allow you to send free messages. Below you have a second message of the same kind and if you receive one of them you will know that they have nothing to do with reality.
Whatsapp is shutting down on 28th Jan Message from Jim Balsamic (CEO of Whatsapp) we have had an overuse of user names on whatsapp Messenger. We are requesting all users to forward this message to their entire contact list. If you do not forward this message, we will take it as your account is invalid and it will be deleted within the next 48 hours. Please DO NOT ignore this message or whatsapp will no longer recognize your activation. If you wish to re-activate your account after it has been deleted, a charge of 25.00 will be added to your monthly bill. We are also aware of the issue involving the picture updates not showing. We are working diligently on fixing this problem and it will be up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation from the Whatsapp team.
