Expert Opinion

Ever wondered why a UK‑based number keeps showing up as a WhatsApp message claiming to be from Facebook Business? The pattern in dozens of reports points to a phishing scheme that sends unsolicited confirmation codes to trick users into handing over login details. Attackers often masquerade as official Meta support, use the same short code format, and rely on the urgency of “verify now.” To stay safe, never share the code with anyone, block the number in both your phone and messaging apps, enable two‑factor authentication, and report the incident to the platform’s fraud team. Regularly review app permissions and consider a reputable security app for added protection.
