Expert Opinion

Never pick up a verification‑code call from a number you don't recognize. These automated messages often deliver a six‑digit code that scammers use to hijack WhatsApp accounts, and the caller ID may appear as a UK landline like +44 161 696 1154. Block the number on your device and report it as spam to your carrier. If you need a code, request it through the app’s built‑in SMS option or use a trusted phone number you control. Enable two‑factor authentication and regularly review active sessions in WhatsApp settings. Staying vigilant and refusing unknown verification calls keeps your account safe.
