WhatsApp Viral Message

Today I received couple of message from my friends that states:

"Hallo everybody.
WhatsApp is going to cost us money soon. The only way that it will stay free is if you are a frequent user i.e. you have at least 10 people you are  chatting with. To become a frequent user send this message to 10 people who receive it (2 ticks) and your WhatsApp logo should turn Red to indicate a frequent user."

On further investigation, I found its a Hoax. And there is no need of forwarding this message.

Here is official WhatsApp Blog and Hoax Slayer confirming the same.
