Got several unsolicited whatsapp alerts and an SMS with whatsapp authentication code, to register my whatsapp account onto a new phone. I disregarded them all, and set up 2FA. I then got a call from this number, I answered but there was no voice/robot at the end of the line. I looked up the number and found it here, so I'll report/block it.
Received an SMS telling me my WhatsApp is being registered on a new device, just a few mins before a call from this number came in. Decided not to answer as I suspected it is a Scam to request the SMS code for which if given, WhatsApp would have been hijacked onto a new device!
Got 5 calls from them from 3: 00 - 4: 30 in the morning. I did not answer, I also get several sms in Spanish claiming to be Whatsapp authentication. Which is strange considering the Phone numbers can be traced back to UK.
There are 3 things that could be happening;
1. Someone deliberately trying to hijack my account. (I doubt that one though.)
2. Automated scam. (Very likely.)
3. Whatsapp spyware exploit. (Also likely.)
Ringer meget tidlig morgen eller midt om natten og lægger en besked med en spansktalende robot, der siger, at min "verifikationskode er..." og så en række tal. Har blokeret nummeret.
