5 monthsSo basically these scammers grab your number and try to connect it to WhatsApp. You get a message with a code, and then they act like a relative whose WhatsApp they've already hacked. They then message you pretending to be that relative and ask for the code. If you share it, they end up taking over your WhatsApp completely. Total nightmare!WhatsApp7 monthsGot a random text with a WhatsApp code, seems like someone’s trying to get into my WhatsApp account. Quite annoying!WhatsApp9 monthsThis number 0161 694 8777 is total nonsense, just loads of rubbish. Don’t bother answering!1 yearJust got a ring from this number right after I missed a call from +1(906)256-9864, US. Didn’t pick up either time. But this number left a voicemail saying something about a network provider. Thinkin it was legit, I dialled back but it just went to some weird voicemail setup that wasn’t like my normal one at all. Didn’t bother staying on, so I ended up hanging up straight away.US1 yearI got a text with a WhatsApp verification code from this number.WhatsApp2 yearsGot a load of WhatsApp reset messages and then some random calls popped up at like 4 in the morning.
