Expert Opinion

If you keep getting a text with a WhatsApp verification code followed by a call, it’s almost always a phishing scam. The caller pretends to be WhatsApp support, trying to trick you into sharing the code so they can hijack your account. Never give anyone the code, even if they claim it’s for verification. Block the number, report the spam to your carrier, and flag the message in the WhatsApp app. You can also report the incident to the platform’s anti‑spam team. Finally, double‑check your WhatsApp security settings and enable two‑step verification to keep your chats safe.
