Expert Opinion

Patterns emerging across reports suggest the +1‑469‑685‑1926 line is being used for a WhatsApp verification‑code scam. Callers deliver a brief ring or automated message, then follow up with SMS texts that contain a link and a six‑digit verification code claim. The goal is to trick users into clicking the link or sharing the code, which can let fraudsters hijack the victim’s WhatsApp account. If you receive such a call, let it go to voicemail, never enter the code, and avoid any links. Block the number, report it to your carrier, and consider enabling two‑step verification directly within the app. Stay skeptical of unsolicited verification requests.
