I got this email. Do I assume it is a fake (especially regarding the poor grammar and punctuation)?”

This message is that you must be informed your free trial subscription expired

we
already sent you a message to make a payment,if you make the payment
before ,don’t worry we didn’t receive the payment and your card are not
debited,make sure to try again ?

there is an annual subscription fee of $ 0.89 USD. You must confirm your payment information

Please note that your subscription is your phone number registered

If your payment is not received

within 24 hours, your account will be deleted

Your invoice payment link

If
you originally downloaded WhatsApp for $ 0.89 USD, to be paid as a
favor for having to download the app, you will keep for a lifetime
subscription, even if you switch to another device.

They could just as easily be supplying fake BBM builds loaded with any number of stealth malware added.

I’ve heard of the app, never had it though. The emails look VERY legit – made me wonder if I used to use it and forgot. The email says to click here to hear the message – Do not let your curiosity get you!
