Anyone else getting supposed Whatsapp notifications about missed calls? Had a couple over the last couple of days, and the link from Whatsapp Service is some random email address. Looks a like the spammers/phishers have yet another vector with which to piss people off! 👿
Ha, yes: http://www.business2community.com/social-buzz/whatsapp-voicemail-scam-need-know-0997526#R0VghFqxXgFEe2Zd.97
Be very careful with an Android device or jail broken iDevice, it installs malware.

The article is misleading. It's not a whatsapp scam. It's an email scam.

I've been getting these for 2 or 3 years.
I don't even have whatsapp.

On iOS and OS X, yes; not sure about how it exploits vulnerabilities in Android.

Yes I get spam or missed calls from time to time on WhatsAp. Had a classic spam/phishing message a few days ago "Is this your number ?"
