I am very well aware hardly anyone in the USA does , but some members here do..
BEWARE!!
Today the radio was talking about Whatsapp Gold.
There is a video that will be launched tomorrow in Whatsapp and is called Martinelli. Do not open it. Goes into your phone and nothing you do will fix it.

Spread the word if you know someone.
If you receive a message to update Whatsapp Gold * Do not open it!
They just announced that the virus is serious.
Send it to everyone you know on WhatsApp.

I don't use WhatsApp but I appreciate digital security, so I googled it and found it is only another internet hoax. More often than not when I come across a post warning of some danger it turns out to be the resurrection of a hoax that won't die. Its a good rule of thumb to open another tab and do an independent search, maybe plus "fact check", to check its veracity.
