Whatsapp Donation hoaxes or fake news
Lately there have been a number of messages that have been circulating on whatsapp of people that are claimed to be having challenges, that includes sick babies, people needing operations and the like.
The messages claim that whatsapp will be willing to pay a few dollars, rupees or whatever currency they may state for every person that the message is fowarded to and hence to help these people all you have to do is forward the message or photo to other people. As good as this looks this is false information and will not help the person in any way except publicizing the state of these people.
What to do
If you receive these texts there is no harm in ignoring them. Currently there is no harm that is known to be cause by these messages. Please do not share this false information and so avoid forwarding such and disturbing the peace of others as they will feel pushed to forward. If you have received such please do share them here so that we can help others be aware of these false texts.
Thank you
