Instantly added my new phone number to 6 Whatsapp groups and tries to call me until I block the phone number.

As the behaviour was similar to the one describe by previous user (late calls separated but 6 minutes) I will assume they are trying to hack my WA account by providing them the certification number. Although I can’t be certain as I didn’t answer the phone.

Claiming to be a Whats App verification code. Two calls at 00:34 and 00:36 with two accompanying texts containing the same code and a link. However, when I later checked Whats App, it confirmed that an attempt was made to change my password (either a mistake over the number or an attempt to hijack) 01752907834 is probably a call centre genuinely used by Whats App.
