My mum got a WhatsApp call from some number in Pakistan. They sent her a verification code and told her to share it with them. When I spoke to the person and told them I'd report them, they hung up straight away and just put the phone down. Quite sketchy!

Like others have said, I got a message on WhatsApp asking to confirm something, then right after, this number called me. I didn’t pick up though.

This sounds really risky.

Got a dodgy call through WhatsApp from someone in a group chat I was part of. They said there was a video meeting coming up and that I’d been sent a code to join. They asked me to repeat the code to them. Right after I did, WhatsApp suddenly logged me out saying "This account has been registered on a different device." Then, about two minutes later, the same number called me back asking me to confirm stuff. Felt very sketchy.

Watch out, this number is connected to a scam on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp verification calls can be a bit strange, but if you asked for one then there’s no worries. Sometimes people might get the wrong number because of typing errors, so if you didn’t actually ask for a WhatsApp code, you can just disregard it.

Complete con. They’re pestering me to install WhatsApp even though I already use it. Keep getting loads of messages in Japanese, probably because I have someone who speaks it in my contacts.

I got about 6 texts from WhatsApp saying my number was being used on another device. After the 4th message, I got a call from the same number, and then kept getting calls right after each text arrived. I instantly suspected it was someone trying to scam me for info until I came across this site. I ended up blocking the number and left any large group chats I was in on WhatsApp just to be safe.

Got a couple of texts from WhatsApp about trying to verify my account on some new device. Then the phone rang, I didnt pick up, but there was a voicemail with just some random numbers. I’ve blocked that number now and made sure to update all my passwords and security settings.

Total scam! I have no clue what went wrong after answering a call from this number. Now my WhatsApp is locked and some bloke is using my account to send dodgy messages to my friends. One of them told me about it and I was well shocked. Gonna report this to the cops for sure.

Got loads of calls every day from this really pushy sales woman, she knew I wasn’t interested but just didn’t stop. She even asked if I was following what she was saying, and when I said it was all a bit confusing, she still acted like that meant I wanted to keep talking. I ended up having to cut the call myself, but they kept ringing back anyway!
