WhatsApp spam
WhatsApp is a free instant messaging service that works on most smartphones.
This is a new app and it would seem that part of the WhatsApp strategy is to get the message to more people, ie to send out emails that use a recipients address book to generate more (unwanted) emails!
We recommend that if you receive emails with a Subject line that you do not recognise or a sender you do not know DO NOT OPEN THEM - DELETE THEM.
That way they cannot spam the contents of your address book!
