Definitely avoid clicking unknown links or replying to messages from unfamiliar numbers. The two reports describe a Nevada‑based caller using the 702‑500‑3837 line to push a WhatsApp chat and a suspicious URL, classic signs of a phishing scam. Block the number, report it to your carrier, and never share personal data or install apps from unsolicited prompts. If a message claims to be from a foreign region (like Manitoba) but originates from a US area code, treat it as fraudulent. Keep your device’s security settings up‑to‑date and educate friends and family about these tactics.

A request to click on a link was made, which I strongly suspect is a scam.
