Is There A Possibility That A Fraudulent Act Is Being Targeted On Me by Medley(m): 5:11pm On Mar 27, 2022
I am really scared and I would want to know if I should be afraid and perhaps what can I do at this point.

On Saturday, March 26, A scammer called my phone and was claiming to be in the same group I was and that there is a code that I should revert to him and I should put my phone on loud speaker, when I checked my messages I saw that it was an SMS of a code from WhatsApp which could mean that my account want to be set up on another phone, I immediately told him he is a scammer and shouldn't call my line again.

Today, March 27, 2022 I have been receiving calls from different phone numbers that barely last for 2 Seconds and will cut off and when I try to call the phone lines back the service provider will return the call that the phone number I am trying to call is not assigned - this was a phone number that just called me and I can't call back.

I have received phone calls from six of those kind of phone numbers between 4pm to 4:45pm.

Please who have an idea of what is happening? Are they trying to defraud me with a new method I don't know of? Is this a new scheme for fraudsters? Should I be worried as I have had to remove my SIM from my phone to avoid receiving more of the calls.

@mynd44 @OM4J please help me to get this to more eyes for immediate assistance

Don’t call those numbers back. It’s a type of scam when u call the number back they will wipe off ur call credit. Check the numbers are always foreign numbers either Russia or from an African country. They just flash u and expect u to call back.
Ignore them. Never try to call them back.

Somone is trying to hack your WhatsApp, all you need to do is to change your security code again
