Change color in WhatsApp? That is behind the chain letter
- "I just changed the color of my WhatsApp ..." - With this message you will receive a link that is supposed to redirect you to the normal WhatsApp homepage. However, with this link, the two Ps in the WhatsApp Url have been replaced by two Wynn.
- A Wynn ("ƿ") is a letter from the old English alphabet, which is very similar to our today's "P".
- Since this character is a character of a slightly different Unicode, a website with the name "WhatsAƿƿ.com" can be operated without there being a conflict with the already registered and real domain.
- On the website you will be asked to invite 10 friends to get access to a new color. Apart from an advertisement for a casino website, nothing else happens afterwards. It is not possible to change the color. It is best to delete the message immediately and not to click on the link.
