Lahore (Web Desk): A new WhatsApp scam has been doing the rounds of late.

The popular messaging platform WhatsApp users have been receiving messages tricking users to visit a https://шһатѕарр.com/?colors domain that promises to let them install WhatsApp in different colours.

This despiteful website redirects users to https://blackwhats.site/ which asks them to share the link to multiple groups for human verification. Once done, users are tricked into installing adware through a Chrome extension on their computer.

WhatsApp will never send out messages for any updates on the popular messaging platform which is why anyone remotely tech savvy would know the link is fake.

On the other hand, there are some who may fall for the fake URL which seems very convincing at first.

So, users are advised to stay away from such spam messages and refrain from sharing them with other WhatsApp users.
