Expert Opinion

A caller from Maryland keeps sending activation codes via automated voicemails, often in Spanish or Arabic, and then follows up with WhatsApp reset messages. This pattern matches the well‑known verification code scam where fraudsters try to hijack messaging accounts. Never enter a code you didn’t request, and avoid confirming the number with the caller. Enable two‑step verification inside WhatsApp, block the offending number on your phone, and report the incident to your carrier and to WhatsApp’s support. If the calls persist, consider filing a complaint with local consumer‑protection agencies.
