WhatsApp video calling fake invites doing the rounds

WhatsApp video calling fake invites doing the rounds
Fake WhatsApp video calling invites have been doing the rounds on WhatsApp, leading users to malicious websites. While updating the app to the latest version is the only way to get the new video calling feature, the widely-circulated messages incorrectly say that it can only be activated via an invitation. Clicking on the link contained in the fake WhatsApp video calling invite takes you to a website that asks you to invite more friends in order to get the video calling feature, and seemingly tries to steal user data.
