Malicious Invite Links [Warning] Do Not Click or Share That WhatsApp Video Calling Invite Link - It's Fake


There is almost an equal split between catholic and protestant churches in Enugu. The state hosts two catholic cathedrals: the Holy Ghost Cathedral can be found next to Ogbete Main Market in the city; the other Cathedral in Enugu State is located in Nsukka. Most people are very disciplined to attend church services and it is hard for them to believe in the existence of ‘free thinkers’, i.e. people who do not feel committed to any religion.

One of the most important events in Igboland is Christmas and it signifies home return in the village. Even though they live most of the time in the city or somewhere else in Nigeria, Igbo families consider their one and only real home their house in the village. It is the two weeks around Christmas which bring families back together to the village. It is the time to catch up with other family members on what has happened over the year and visit relatives and friends in the neighbourhood. You will find the cities empty during this period only preceded and followed by the traffic peaks caused by travelling back and forth between the village and the cities.

Easter is the other event, though smaller in scale, which provides Igboland a break for festivities. People tend to go to their villages but most of them stay around in the city to visit friends and relatives.

In line of this, Mother’s day is the last one I want to mention. On this Sunday the mothers prepare special food for the whole family, which is obviously a feast on its own.
This message is widely being thought to be the real deal because of link name and the interface of the website that it leads to artfully spoof the legitimate site and app. The link 'whatsapp.org.videocallenable.co' has an interface that matches the actual app's colour pattern. It has a bold green button in the middle that claims to activate WhatsApp video calling and even has screenshots of the video calling feature to convince users of its legitimacy. Clicking on the link will lead to another page that will ask you to invite more friends on WhatsApp. Notably, it even mentions the existence of group video calling - something that doesn't officially yet exist on the platform - perhaps as a lure for users who may want that extra feature. The site appears to be a phishing one that seeks user details, and may possibly also provide a download of a malicious app.
We reiterate that this link could potentially be malicious and we strongly recommend you to not click it at all, let alone share it with friends. It could expose your smartphone to many unwanted vulnerabilities. If users do click through using the Chrome browser, they will receive a Google's Safe Browsing warning of a 'Deceptive site ahead'. However, other browsers may not warn users in time, and thus it is very important that information of the potentially dangerous nature of such links be shared with all friends All WhatsApp users should note that the company will never send out a link to activate a feature or provide rewards. Never click any such link, or download any such software.
