Calls from this number often involve vague mentions of WhatsApp, stirring immediate suspicion among recipients. Punters wisely block without engaging, as no legitimate outfit leaves such dodgy voicemails or persists without clear purpose. The foreign accent and abrupt hang-ups scream phishing tactics, aiming to lure you into sharing details via messaging apps. Harassing patterns emerge too, with repeated missed calls that vanish upon lookup. Best advice: never return these; enable spam filters on your phone and report to your provider. If they reference a ref number, it's likely a ploy—verify independently through official channels to sidestep any scam pitfalls.
