Expert Opinion

Ever get a late‑night call with a WhatsApp verification code? Those rings are usually automated scams that try to hijack your account by coaxing you to share the code sent via SMS. Ignore the call, never type the code into any voice prompt, and delete the message. Enable two‑step verification in WhatsApp, and consider blocking the number through your carrier or phone settings. Report the incident to the FTC’s spam‑call portal and to your mobile provider’s fraud department. Keep your authentication apps separate from SMS, and regularly review account activity for unauthorized logins. Staying vigilant reduces the risk of a full account takeover.
