Expert Opinion

If you keep getting a robotic voice reading a 6‑digit number, it’s almost always a WhatsApp verification code call. These calls usually aren’t legit – the app normally sends the code via SMS or push notification, not a phone call. Hang up, don’t share the code, and check your WhatsApp device list for any unknown logins. If you didn’t request a code, consider changing your password and enabling two‑factor authentication. Block the number and report it as spam in your carrier’s app. Stay wary of anyone claiming they need the code to ‘fix’ your account – that’s a classic scam tactic.
