Warning to all...

They are going to start circulating a video on WhatsApp that shows how the Covid19 curve is flattening in Argentina.  The file is called "Argentina is doing it", do not open it or see it, it hacks your phone in 10 seconds and it cannot be stopped in any way.  Pass this information on to your family and friends.Now they also said it on CNN.This may not be true, but better safe than sorry.

This is a hoax, passing on false information is what is really dangerous.

Hoax! There are different versions of it, some referring to Argentina, others India. Pure mischief-making.

BenI was trying to help. If it wasn’t on CNN, I wouldn’t have posted about it.

Did you personally read it on CNN?

"Blair Cofield, a CNN spokesperson, said in an email to Snopes: “This is false. There is nothing on CNN platforms with that message.”"

Had this passed on by two friends in the last few days. You only have to Google to find out that it's a hoax, so why don't people do that before passing it on?

Georgina said 'this might not be true' so to be fair and I like to be fair, she did cover herself in that regard.

There are quite a few emails circulating around at the moment, if true there is one trying to get your personal details about paying for a Covid 19 vacation, it looks quite convincing with its NHS logo.Just remain vigilant while using the internet or email software, remember 99% of company’s don’t ask for personal details by email.If you are buying a product from a website you are unsure of, check they have a registered office address and contact phone number or email, and speak to the company.Or you could look their details up on the company’s house website to see if the details match.I won’t purchase any product from a website that cannot be contacted in any way.Remember there’s more people out there to fleece you of hard earned money than to provide a decent service.,

I get these warnings from friends from time to time. They are well intentioned and don’t actually do any harm imo. I appreciate the thought behind the warning 👍
