WhatsAppSupport You have Deferred Mail Fake and Malicious Emails

"WhatsAppSupport You have Deferred Mail" emails like the one below are fakes and maybe malicious. Cyber-criminals are sending out fake email messages, which appear as if they were sent by WhatsApp with malicious or spam links. The malicious links will take the recipients, who have clicked on the links, to phishing websites, created by cyber-criminals to steal their personal and financial information, while the spam links will take them to untrustworthy websites where they will be asked to purchase fake or inferior products. The recipients may also be taken to malicious websites, where they will be tricked into downloading and installing malicious software like viruses, Trojan horse, and spyware, disguised as legitimate software.

Remember, never click on a link to sign into your online accounts. Always go directly to your online accounts' website and sign-in from there.
