Phone number ☎️ 01616961154 👆 is reported as a persistent source of unsolicited calls linked to WhatsApp verification scams. Many people receive unexpected verification codes and automated calls claiming to be from WhatsApp, often at odd hours. Some report attempts to obtain personal or financial information under false pretences, including posing as service providers. Several users advise ignoring or blocking the number, as repeated contact without prior request suggests fraudulent activity or hacking attempts.

While a few describe legitimate verification calls when setting up WhatsApp, the consensus is to exercise caution, avoid sharing codes, and report suspicious activity to trading standards or relevant authorities.

11 monthsGot a weird call right after I got a WhatsApp verification code pop up on my phone. Definitely felt dodgy.WhatsApp11 monthsThis number just rang me but I let it go to voicemail. Odd thing is it came shortly after I got a call from South African number and then outta nowhere, a WhatsApp code popped up on my phone which I ignorred completely. Watch out for this one!WhatsApp1 yearI ignored it at first, but kept getting all these WhatsApp verification codes coming through! Then suddenly, there was another one asking me to confirm a code for some new phone? Totally looks like they’re trying to nick my info. Proper scammers for sure!WhatsApp1 yearI got a call through Viber and noticed this pop up.Viber2 yearsGot a call from this number, an Indian lady trying to get me to upgrade my Virgin broadband. Problem is, I don’t even have Virgin, and I’m not the one paying for the internet anyway. Sounds like a busy call centre line - it’s a kind of switchboard number that different people in Manchester use. They probably just jump onto another number afterwards to keep going. I reckon loads of scammers might be using it, so best to just block it. They wanted me to give out my card details and address, but no way I did that. Typical scammy stuff from these calls, really annoying.VirginManchester2 yearsGot a call from this number.2 yearsJust another scam call, like always. Straight to block, block, block!2 yearsThey began ringing at 2 in the morning after loads of texts. Stay clear of these.3 yearsLooks like a scam, not really sure what they’re after but definitely seems risky.3 yearsGot loads of messages asking me to verify a WhatsApp code I never asked for. Then got a text from Facebook too, which I just ignored since I don’t even have an account with them. To top it off, someone called me from a Manchester area code at like 10 at night. So bold! Definitely blocked and reported the number.FacebookManchester3 yearsI just got a call from a number I didn’t recognise and honestly, the whole thing was pretty confusing. Has anyone else ever dealt with calls like this before? Seems weird to me.3 yearsI keep getting calls from numbers I dont recognise. Anyone else having this happen? Its a bit annoying not knowing who’s trying to reach me.3 yearsLooks like it’s connected to some dodgy scammer.3 yearsSeems like they're just fishing for my phone info using WhatsApp.WhatsApp4 yearsThey ring you up then suddenly WhatsApp shoots a 6-digit verification code to your phone, probably ‘cause someone’s trying to set up WhatsApp on a new gadget somewhere. So you end up gettin’ that code out of the blue, then get a call straight after. Weird way to get things going if you ask me.WhatsApp4 yearsI got a call on 27/01/2023 from +44 161 514 9134 pretending to be from Carphone Warehouse, saying they had permission to have my number. It felt dodgy so I blocked the number, passed it on to 7726 and reported them to trading standards as well.Carphone Warehouse4 yearsGot a WhatsApp code? Only use it if you asked for one, never share it with anyone else.WhatsApp4 yearsMe han estado llamando en tres ocasiones, ¿alguien sabe si podría ser un timo?4 yearsGot a call followed by a text message containing a WhatsApp verification code.

I’ve just gone ahead and blocked it now.7 yearsSo this is a WhatsApp verification call. If you tried moving your WhatsApp to a different phone, it rings to confirm it’s really you. But if you didn’t ask for any code, it might be someone trying to get into your account. This service is there to double check it’s legit.
