(Web Desk) - Instant messaging application "Whatsapp" has become a part and parcel of every smartphone and now it is preferred over regular messaging services but to your surprise each newer version of it is not authenticated.

Another WhatsApp version with the name WhatsApp 4G is attracting users to download it with amazing features like video calling but an ethical hacker Rafay Baloch after analyzing the version warned people not to download it.

With a glittery interface, this WhatsApp version is basically a hoax. As you try to download this fancy version it asks users to send invites to 15 friends.

A screenshot of how the version lures users to download it.

After sending invites, it takes you to another link. Cutting it short, this is just a scam having no link with the original WhatsApp application.

Beware and don't get fooled by the amazing features as it would deliver malware to your smartphone.
