Alerta de estafa: códigos OTP enviados desde número desconocido
Resumen — +14846528710
Opinión del experto
A las 5:00 a.m., varios usuarios reportan llamadas desde +14846528710 con códigos de verificación de WhatsApp. La coincidencia de mensajes automatizados que repiten un código OTP sugiere un intento de phishing dirigido a robar accesos a la cuenta. Estos contactos suelen ser breves, en varios idiomas y aparecen en horarios atípicos, lo que indica un esquema de estafa masiva. Para protegerse, es aconsejable no introducir el código en ningún dispositivo que no sea su propio teléfono, bloquear el número y revisar la actividad de la cuenta desde la app oficial. Si sospecha que su cuenta fue comprometida, active la verificación en dos pasos y contacte al soporte de WhatsApp.
