If you get a call or voicemail that reads a six‑digit verification code and mentions WhatsApp, it’s almost always a scam. The callers aren’t WhatsApp; they’re trying to trick you into sharing the code so they can hijack your account. Never enter a code you didn’t request, and don’t call the number back. Enable WhatsApp’s two‑step verification, block the number, and report the incident to WhatsApp support. If the call comes at odd hours or repeats the same message, treat it as automated spam. Stay cautious and keep your personal data locked down.
This tactic has been identified as spam in several European countries a few years ago.
