Ever wonder why a stranger’s voice keeps rattling out numbers at 3 AM? The pattern here points to automated calls pushing a verification code that pretends to be from WhatsApp, often followed by a text with a link. Callers typically use a female‑sounding voice, repeat the same digits, and claim it’s a coupon or a security check. The safest play is to ignore any unsolicited code, never click the link, and block the number immediately. If the number shows up again, report it to your carrier and to WhatsApp’s abuse channel. Keep your app updated and enable two‑factor authentication to cut off any hack attempts.
A strange call with no clear reason; felt like a missed connection rather than anything useful.
Discussion about Covid. Anticipated a registration call containing a code. The scam aimed to hijack my WhatsApp identity and solicit money from my contacts. WhatsApp had already warned me.
Ahh
Be aware that this number is linked to a WhatsApp scam.

This number is associated with the WhatsApp verification process, which links your phone number to the app upon download, allowing its use.
A phone call was made, asking for a verification code in Spanish, but the purpose of the verification was unclear. Shortly after, a text message was sent from the same number with a link to verify my phone number.
Repeated calls were made, including one at 3:57 am, 3:58 am, and 4:00 am, with a recorded voice claiming to offer a coupon code, which seemed like a bot, so I blocked the number
I received an incoming call from this South African number, but they didn't even greet me, leaving me wondering about their intentions.
A verification code was provided, but its purpose is unclear.
This morning, a text message with no content was received from this number.
