Expert Opinion

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a call from +17206062689 often pretends to be a tech helper demanding your WhatsApp verification code. The script usually warns you that the code isn’t arriving and urges you to forward it via SMS or a screenshot. Treat any unsolicited request for verification codes as suspicious; legitimate services never ask for them over the phone. Hang up, block the number, and verify the claim through the official app or website. Enable two‑factor authentication, avoid sharing screenshots, and report the incident to your carrier or a consumer‑protection agency. Keeping a habit of questioning unknown callers protects your privacy and security.
