Ever wonder why your phone lights up at 2 AM with a WhatsApp verification code? Most reports point to an automated scam that floods users with bogus codes, often in French or other languages, to create urgency and prompt a reply. The calls bypass Do‑Not‑Call lists because they’re classified as verification‑code scams rather than traditional telemarketing. Best practice: let the call go to voicemail, never share the code, and block the number using your carrier’s spam‑blocker feature. Report the nuisance to the FTC and, if possible, flag the number in any third‑party call‑filtering app. Staying silent and keeping your accounts secured are the safest moves.
Despite being registered on the do not call list, this number continues to call my cell phone, which is a clear infringement on my privacy.
At 12:30am, i recieved a call with a female voice recording that was all in French, wich was pretty weird and i didnt understand a word.
Late-night calls, around 12:30am, were made in French, with multiple attempts in a short span
An automated message repeatedly stated 'Your verification code is 962,' without further context
