[Caution, Important!] Is This Your Photo SMS with virus link

Got alerted by a friend on a SMS circulating around with a link that installs a ransomware virus on your mobile devices (according to hardwarezone.com).

Not a new thing but seems to resurface again. According to sources (both confirmed by hardwarezone.com post and the account from my friend's friend), the malware will mass SMS the link to your contacts. So please don’t click if you see such emails.


These are what the SMS seem to look like (excluding for the pun messages written in the meme from SGAG of course) :
