This morning at half past seven I got a call from 01313220551, which really annoyed me since I'd hardly slept properly. The number showed up as Edinburgh on my phone. Luckily, I've got this new AI call filter that handles unknown numbers, but afterwards, I received a message in my texts from what looked like a WhatsApp contact? I ended up blocking both the call number and the one that sent the message. I think this might be connected to when I entered my phone details into an app a few days ago - feels like some sort of scam to me.

Try asking for a code through a voice call and you'll see this number pop up, apparently it's linked to WhatsApp, Buttbook, or some other weird monkey app service or something. :)

I got a missed call from a number in Edinburgh starting with 0551, but I didn’t pick it up. Before that, someone from South Africa rang me and just dropped the call after about half a minute. Bit odd really.

A few days back, after I did something (honestly can’t remember what exactly, been busy since), I started thinking I might get a call from some company, maybe EE. Then this random number rang me, but I didn’t pick up, although I was a bit curious given what happened earlier. What’s weird is, I also got a code from another strange number around the same time, like I somehow set this off myself. I expected the legit company to send a code either by text or phone, but instead I got nothing from them at all. Feels like someone else got in the way and intercepted the messages!

Got a call from 1313220551 in the middle of the night, I just ignored it. Later on, I got a message saying something about my WhatsApp account with a code included. The text had some Chinese characters in it. I didn’t bother with the code, just deleted the message and reported it as a scam.

Be cautious folks. Fraudsters often fake real phone numbers to trick people. Always use your judgement when dealing with odd calls, messages or emails from unfamiliar sources. If you spot a scam, make sure to report it straight away through the police’s ‘Action Fraud’ website. Not sure what those green boxes mean tho.

This number is what WhatsApp rings when you choose the call option to get your verification code. When setting up WhatsApp on a new device or after reinstalling, you need to verify your number again. You can pick between receiving a text or a phone call, and if you go for the call, this is the number that calls you with the code that you then punch into the app.
