Earlier today I noticed a surge of reports about the 209‑285‑0660 number sending WhatsApp verification codes and fake security alerts. Recipients describe texts claiming their account is being registered on a new device, often followed by requests for money or gift‑card codes. The pattern matches a classic phishing campaign: attackers harvest phone numbers, trigger WhatsApp’s two‑factor prompts, and hope users will share the code. If you receive an unsolicited code, do not reply or click any links. Verify directly in the official WhatsApp app, report the number to your carrier, and consider blocking it. Staying skeptical and keeping your authentication methods private are the quickest ways to stay safe.
After a WhatsApp account is hacked, the hackers contact the peoples in your phone contact and ask for money in the name of the account owner, they also put a 2-p**s security system with a pin that dont allow the account owner to acess the application again.
