Late-night WhatsApp messages from unknown South African numbers often signal trouble, especially when they impersonate high-profile figures like CEOs. This case screams scam—the sender's fabricating authority to trick recipients into sharing info or money. Reports like yours highlight a common tactic: spoofing identities to build false trust. Block the number immediately, report it to your messaging app and local authorities, and never respond or click links. Advise friends to verify claims directly with the real contact. Staying vigilant cuts down on these digital cons effectively.
WhatsApp messages from this number claim to be from a company CEO, but I know the real CEO personally and can confirm he never changed his number – it’s a scam.
