If there was any doubt, you are not downloading a voice message, instead you are downloading malware.

That’s why, so you don’t fall for this kind of scams, you should take this into account:

Note the following Points:

1. WhatsApp doesn’t send notifications for pending messages.

2. If we look closely to the sender’s address: darcy.bambrick@rogers.com, we will see it doesn’t have to do anything with WhatsApp.

3. The application won’t never refer to itself as Whats App.

The best thing you can do is just ignore these emails and install in your computer the Net Protector antivirus, which will block the malware in your computer.
