New fraud WhatsApp message misguiding people to get them free data on Jio

A message telling users to "upgrade their services" has gone viral on popular social instant messaging platform WhatsApp.

As you can clearly see the actual URL of the site is http://upgrademyjioservice.blogspot.in/, just a blog , which is not associated with Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited in anyway. And at the bottom of the message, you can see the hood-winker has used URL shortening service TINYCC to beguile people.

On clicking the link you will land on the blog

Looking at the address bar, it's a Blogspot site.

It will tell you to download an app (in APK) and install it.

And mark the unnecessary permissions required for the app too.

Think about it. If it's really from Jio and an official offer, then why wouldn't it be in Play Store? Why wouldn't it not be advertised on MyJio app? MyJio is the self-care application by Jio facilitating users to manage their Jio Account and Digital Services associated with it. Why wouldn't it be featured there? I'm already a Prime user, what is the need of "upgrading my services" again?

So guys don't fall for this gimmick. The developer is going to sell your data and nothing else.

If you whisper, “Echo, play a lullaby,” for the infant who’s almost asleep in your arms, Echo will whisper back, “Here’s a station for lullabies from your Amazon Music library,” instead of screaming at full startling volume. What's more? Whisper is not the only important feature that will come to Amazon Echo devices this year, we also have bunch of new ones. Guard : Guard will let you say, “Alexa, I’m leaving,” and the device will automatically acti...
