A NEW scam is targeting WhatsApp users by encouraging them to download a 'Gold' version of the app – which actually steals their data.
Users of the messaging app are reporting receiving mysterious messages offering a 'limited edition' version of WhatsApp Gold which is 'only used by big celebrities'.
It also includes a link to download the app.
