Automated voices luring folks into WhatsApp chats for shady tasks are popping up more than you'd think. These calls from this number push fake job offers, like rating hotels on Booking.com and sending screenshots, all to snag your data or cash. The broken English and quick shift to messaging scream scam. Hang up immediately—don't engage or click links. Block the number, report it to your carrier and the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint, and enable spam filters on your phone to dodge these traps. Staying vigilant keeps scammers at bay without costing you a dime.
An automated message played when I picked up, mentioning something about jobs and urging me to add them on WhatsApp. They wanted me to review a hotel on Booking.com and share screenshots, promising cash for these chores. The English was terrible.
Fraudulent texts; left a voicemail urging WhatsApp contact.
