WhatsApp users are being warned not to interact with an Easter Egg scam doing the rounds.
It comes as messages are being forwarded to people and group chats on the messaging service, as well as on Facebook, promising free Cadbury Easter Eggs.
The link, which an example of one can be seen below, says people can win up to 5,000 free gifts and a massive Cadbury hamper.
