Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, these WhatsApp‑related texts masquerade as legitimate security alerts. The sender, using the +1 587‑802‑0996 number, repeatedly pushes a verification code and urges you to enter it on a new device. In reality, the code grants the fraudster access to your account, letting them hijack chats, contacts, and personal data. Never share a code you didn’t request, and verify the message by opening WhatsApp directly rather than clicking links. Enable two‑step verification, block the number, and report the incident to WhatsApp and your carrier. Staying skeptical stops the scam before it strikes.

The number is scamming people for deposit money, thats terible
