Caution: unexpected verification calls can catch anyone off guard. When a number you don’t recognize claims to be sending a WhatsApp code, treat it like any other unknown caller—don’t share personal info or confirm codes. Verify the source by checking recent login attempts in the app or looking up the official WhatsApp help pages. If you receive a voice call or text with a code you never requested, it’s likely a spoofed number used for phishing or scamming. Block the number, report it to your carrier, and consider enabling two‑factor authentication that doesn’t rely on SMS. Stay skeptical and trust official channels only.
