Be wary of unsolicited calls pushing for WhatsApp additions, especially those posing as job agencies or HR recruiters—it's a classic scam tactic to extract personal info or spread malware. In the UK, such early-morning or weekend calls on a Sunday feel off, as legitimate firms stick to business hours. Hang up immediately without engaging, then report the number to Action Fraud or your phone provider to block it network-wide. If you've shared details already, monitor accounts closely and consider changing passwords. Staying vigilant protects against identity theft; always verify recruiters through official channels like their website, not random adds.
Honestly, I let it go to voicemail since it rang on a Sunday before nine and I suspected a sales pitch, no worries.
Seems they pretended to be a recruitment firm, urging me to join their WhatsApp – classic dodgy trick, yeah.
A recorded HR message tried to push a WhatsApp add‑request for a job; I’m retired, so I deleted and blocked it.
