This is not the first incident, in fact there was one more such activity – WhatsApp Gold that people fell in for, the app was presumed to offer exclusive access. The new message that you got or might get is also a scam avoid it.

Whatsapp video call link is  a scam

Remember one thing WhatsApp will never send link within WhatsApp message to update / activate new feature. Also such malicious links that you get, usually come from a sender using WhatsApp, next time when you get any such link from any sender delete it; if the sender is unknown you probably would want to block them.
