Action Fraud have announced this today

"Android Malware pretends to be Whatsapp, Uber, and Facebook"

 

The Android malware is spread via text message which says “We could not deliver your order. Please check your shipping information here hxxp://bit[.]ly/1ZfcNeV”. 

Once users click on the link, the malware is installed. It then silently waits in the background for users to open the official app and then overlays a fake interface over the top. Victims are then tricked into revealing their banking information.
