A lady identified as Sonia Glows, a critic of fraudulent schemes, has defrauded several contacts via WhatsApp. In late January, she posted a N3 million giveaway opportunity on her status. To qualify, people only needed to send any amount less than a million naira to her ‘sister’, send proof of their debits and their account numbers to her and expect to receive double the amount. This sister, according to Glows, was Favour Ndukwe, whose Zenith Bank account, with account number 2119878330, was used to receive the sums.

WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app, is introducing a revamped voice call interface, which is now available to select users. WhatsApp has evolved from being merely a messaging and talking app to a full-fledged communication service. That is, you can now make a voice call, a video call, or discuss your everyday life via status, among other things. The recent rollout is only available to a small group of Android beta testers. The voice calling feature was first implemented in 2015. This was following Facebook's (now Meta) acquisition of WhatsApp in 2014.
