When we last wrote about “Martinelli”, back in 2018, we noted that the hoax was given a breath of believability because the text above was immediately followed by this: If you receive a message to update the WhatsApp to WhatsApp Gold, do not click!!!!! An IT colleague has advised that a video comes out tomorrow from WhatsApp called martinelli do not open it, it hacks your phone and nothing will fix it. The bogus news is generally known as the “Martinelli hoax”, because it starts like this: If you know anyone using WhatsApp you might pass on this. If you follow on Twitter, you’ll have noticed that we warned last week about an old WhatsApp hoax that suddenly reappeared.
