Internet Free WhatsApp Activation. FOLLOW OUR INSTRUCTIONS BELOW! Step 1: Enter your WhatsApp Mobile Number! Step 2: Click on I AGREE! Continue


DETAILS:

A story doing rounds on WhatsApp comes as an invite to activate free WhatsApp messaging service without internet by simply following a link in the message. The story is yet another internet hoax and a scam!

people who followed the link WhatsAppForFree.com were asked to enter their WhatsApp mobile phone number, click on "I Agree" button and at the next step were compelled to invite 10 friends on WhatsApp to activate the 'internet free WhatsApp service'. Strangely, the website even accepted a non-numerical text entered in the mobile number field before moving on asking to invite 10 friends. And what is said in the story is not a fact. When I visited the URL WhatsAppForFree.com, I was redirected to IP address http://128.199.244.171, with the below warning messages in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox:


Google Chrome

DOMAIN NAME INFORMATION

In the domain name information of WhatsAppForFree.com, the Registrant Name and Tech Name is shown as 'Registration Private' and the Registrant Country as United States. However, virustotal.com reports the website as Autonomous System based in Country SG (Singapore). More importantly, there are few other URLs hosted in the IP address 128.199.244.171, some of which when visited warn that the sites ahead contain malware. All this concludes to saying the story in question is a Scam in the name of free WhatsApp service without internet.
