WhatsApp wants to avoid SPAM on its messaging platform

This is the new WhatsApp scam with which your data will be stolen

Sure most of you, have received since you are using WhatsApp especially in the last two years, some chain in which you were urged to massively share a message Through your contacts, in order to prevent WhatsApp from stopping working, becoming a payment application or with messages that force us to press and pay in order to continue using the messaging platform.

The WhatsApp messaging platform has become the main method of communication for many users, some of which depend almost exclusively on it and every time the service falls they cry out to heaven. Spammers who are dedicated to sending this type of messages, take advantage of the paranoia of some users to be forced to stop using it and share any message of this type among their contacts.

Later than usual, something that is usually something common in WhatsApp, it seems that they have finally realized that this type of messages the only thing they can get is that some unsuspecting falls into the trap and pay a third party to continue using the platform, to give an example in which money has something to do with it. WhatsApp already has several filters that in theory, are in charge of filtering the messages that are forwarded on many occasions, filters that are in charge of eliminating this type of messages so that they stop circulating on the network. But it seems that it is not enough and he wants them to disappear as soon as possible.

Currently, WhatsApp allows us to forward up to 30 messages together to 25 of our contacts. If we exceed that number, the application warns us that we have shared that message too many times, but does not offer us any limitation in this regard. The messaging platform, remember that if we want to share messages in a massive way, we make use of the distribution lists, distribution lists that spammers do not have access to, since they only receive messages sent through this route, people that have the sender's phone number stored
