WhatsApp Scam Warning Sender
Free tool. Runs in your own browser.
Someone linked their device to your account and messaged your contacts. This free tool finds every chat it was sent to and sends each one a warning.
About 60 seconds. This locks the scammer out. Do it before anything else.
In WhatsApp, go to Settings › Linked devices and log out of every device that isn't yours.
Go to Settings › Account › Two-step verification, turn it on and set a PIN.
Go to Settings › Account and check both Email address and Change number. Make sure the email address and the phone number on the account are still yours.
It runs on WhatsApp Web, in your browser, on your computer.
Four steps on your computer. Doing this by hand across 100+ chats takes hours. The tool does 100 chats in about 5 minutes.
Open the email we sent you, download the file, then unzip it. Remember where the unzipped folder is.
Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and choose the unzipped folder.
Go to web.whatsapp.com and link your phone. Wait a few minutes for your chats to sync.
Press Find affected chats. Check the list. Press Send warning twice.
If you haven't asked for the file yet, do it now and it'll be in your inbox by the time you reach a computer.
Worth understanding, so you can explain it to the people you just warned.

Nothing was hacked and no password was broken. It works because the message arrived from a real person your contacts trust. That is also why warning them from your own account works so well.
It runs inside your own browser, on the WhatsApp Web page you are already signed in to. There is no account, no sign up and no server of ours. Your messages and contacts never leave your computer. We never see them.
It only reads your recent chats to find the scam message, and only sends the warning text you approve, to the chats you tick.
Scammers often delete the sent messages from your side, so there is nothing left to match. Open one of your chats manually and look for the message yourself.
If it is there and the tool missed it, the search text is editable. Copy the wording from the message into the search box and run it again. If you're stuck, contact us.
Be aware of the risk before you run it. This is an unofficial tool that automates sending. WhatsApp does not endorse automation and we cannot promise how they will treat it.
The slow send rate, one message every 2 to 4 seconds, is there to reduce that risk. You can also send to fewer chats, or stop at any time.
It was released fast as an emergency tool, and store review takes time people in this situation do not have. Remove it once you're done.
Open chrome://extensions, find WhatsApp Scam Warning Sender, and click Remove. You can also delete the unzipped folder.
