Expert Opinion

Picture this: you receive a WhatsApp verification text you never requested, then a robotic voice repeats the same numbers in a late‑night call. That pattern matches a widespread WhatsApp code scam where fraudsters harvest email or phone data to trick you into clicking malicious links. Avoid answering unknown numbers, especially those that echo a code you didn’t ask for. If you get a call, let it go to voicemail and listen for recorded prompts—legitimate services rarely use automated messages for verification. Report the number to your carrier and to the platform’s abuse channel, and consider enabling two‑factor authentication that doesn’t rely on SMS.
