However, Whatsapp gold doesn't exist - it is a fake service and by clicking on the link within the message you could open the door to fraudsters stealing sensitive information from your phone.The message, sent through hugely popular messaging app Whatsapp, includes a link to a 'golden version' website but this contains malware which is harmful to your phone and opens it up to criminals.
Several Whatsapp users have reported receiving the exclusive invite via their messenger app.
The invite claims the elite service is used by celebrities and has extended features such as video calls, the ability to send multiple photos at the same time and a free calling feature.
But the link within the message takes users to a website, currently showing an 'error 404' message, which could download harmful malware onto your phone.
This is likely to infect the phone with a virus which could give a third party access to the information stored on it.
