WhatsApp verification scam—what to do!
Summary — +442038564522
Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a sudden call right after a WhatsApp verification code lands on your phone. The pattern you’re hearing—multiple SMS codes followed by aggressive calls from a UK‑based number—matches a classic WhatsApp verification scam. Scammers aim to trick you into sharing the 6‑digit code, which grants them full access to your account. Never disclose the code to anyone, even if the caller claims to be from WhatsApp or Facebook. Use the in‑app two‑step verification, block the offending number, and report the incident to WhatsApp’s support. Keep your app updated and consider using a separate, strong password for added security.
