Expert Opinion

Heads up: receiving unexpected calls that read out WhatsApp verification codes is a clear warning sign. These calls typically aim to trick you into sharing the code, which can let scammers hijack your account. Do not give any numbers to anyone who calls unsolicited, even if the voice sounds automated. Immediately block the number and report the incident to your mobile carrier and to WhatsApp via the official support channels. Delete any related SMS messages, and consider enabling two‑factor authentication on your accounts. Stay vigilant, keep your personal data private, and remember that legitimate services never ask for verification codes over the phone.

It's the WhatsApp verification system. Upon installing the app, it requests a phone number and sends a text with a verification code. Should that fail, there's an option for an automated call delivering the code, which is this. Receiving an unexpected call or text likely means someone trying to sign up for WhatsApp entered your number by mistake. (No need to fret, as they won't get the code and can't finish registering with your details.)

Got a WhatsApp verification code 518-122 from here too. Moments ago, while checking this Ipswich line, +1 (541) 526-5577 called from Redmond, Oregon. It was a recorded message. Odds are it's a PPI claims outfit! Lol

Just got a WhatsApp code 518‑122 from that number. A moment later, while I was looking up the Ipswich contact, I received a call from +1 (541) 526‑5577 in Redmond, Oregon. It was a recorded greeting – probably a PPI claims firm, lol.

Quite an odd case here - it came as a text, not a call, from what seems a landline in Ipswich. The content was "WhatsApp code 187-940". If you've got thoughts on this, do share. I use WhatsApp but this is a first. Cheers beforehand.

441473379441 Unknown desconocido

A bizarre case: I received a text—not a call—from a landline in Ipswich that said “WhatsApp code 187‑940”. If anyone has clues, please share. I use WhatsApp but never saw anything like this. Thanks!

441473379441 Unknown neznámé

Toto je opravdu divné, protože to byla sms a ne hovor, a číslo je zřejmě landline v Ipswich, ale zpráva byla o whatsapp kódu.
