Expert Opinion

Bottom line: those brief WhatsApp pings from +235 numbers are almost always premium‑rate scams designed to rack up huge phone bills. Callers typically let the line ring once or twice, then hang up, hoping you’ll call back and incur the charge. The pattern shows multiple short rings, no answer, and warnings about “cost traps” from African sources. To stay safe, never return the call, block the number, and report it to your carrier. If a caller claims to be a bank, government agency, or delivery service, verify through official channels before taking any action. Keep your device’s privacy settings tight and consider disabling unknown WhatsApp calls.
