WhatsApp OTP scam calls – what to watch out for
Summary — +15612993479
Expert Opinion
These calls are almost certainly a fraud scheme. Scammers use automated voice prompts that read a six‑digit code, making it look like a WhatsApp verification OTP. Answering or confirming the code can let the fraudsters hijack your account or steal personal data. If you receive such a call, let it ring out, block the number, and delete any related SMS without opening it. Never share the code with anyone, and always verify directly in the official WhatsApp app. Report the number to your carrier and keep your software updated to guard against spam and OTP scams.
