Expert Opinion

Like a thief slipping a duplicate key, these callers try to unlock your WhatsApp by fishing for the one‑time verification code they send via text or voicemail. The pattern across reports shows automated messages delivering a six‑digit code, often followed by a call in an unfamiliar language urging you to confirm it. Never disclose that code to anyone; legitimate services will never ask for it over the phone. Block the number, report it to your carrier, and enable two‑step verification inside WhatsApp. Keep the app updated, and educate contacts that any unsolicited code request is a phishing attempt. Stay vigilant and protect your account.
