PLS HELP: SOMEONE TRYING TO REGISTER MY WHATSAPPS NUMBER ON ANOTHER DEVICE.

A man claiming to be 'organizing a Zoom Meeting' for our staff I believe is out to scam or use my WhatsApp account for criminal activities.

The man called me two days ago in the evening and said he has enrolled me for a meeting and I should send him a code he sent to my phone for verification.

From the start I knew he is a scammer but decided to play along and called him out when it comes to times he'd ask for some money to be sent to him.

I did called out to him the 6-number code sent to my phone, but upon reading the whole notification I realized that the message was from WhatsApp and the code was to be used to register my WhatsApp number on another device. I Immediately set up a WhatsApp two step verification to forestall this.

About an hour after this, another notification arrived with another code and the man called me again. I flared up here telling him that he's a scammer and some angry words.

I don't know whether it is the 2 step verification I engaged my WhatsApp account that prevented the initial registration or entry into my account that necessitated the the second attempt to generate another code.

MY ISSUES NOW ARE:

1. How would I know whether they've succeeded in creating an account with my number?

2. Would the WhatsApp 2 step verification prevent them from registering or entry if they've registered with the number?

3. How would I disable the account if they've succeeded?

4. Would they have access to my contacts, in the event that they they succeeded?

5. Why would WhatsApp allow for another registration on another device when my current line is active on a device recognized by them?

I kindly need your assistance, as anyone out to possess other people's profiles n

Even if you have given him the code and he signed you out, you can still regain access as long as you have the registered SIM card with you .cheers

I am not signed out. My biggest concern is, how would I know whether he was able to succeed in registering my number on a new device? And if he did, how would I make the account disabled?

Be rest assured that it will now be difficult to sign you out since you refused to provide the second code to him.
So just relax.
Besides, if he had succeeded in signing you out, there would have been no way for you to use your line at this again.

The guy too dull.

Seems like what is trending recently.

A girl chatted me up two days ago and said we were FB friends long ago b4 her fone went bad. I played along and after about a few hours chat which she sent me her sexy pictures, she pleaded if I could help her with 2k to fuel her gen and charge her fone. That's when I told her that I don't give out my personal number on FB except I've met with the person. She went mute and stopped chatting me.
This morning she started pleading that even if it's 1k I should raise for her.

Me just ignore the babe... She go tire there

My bad bro. I always thought 419ners string you along to a point where money would be requested. I never knew their plan here is not money at first. And honestly, it was later that I discovered the code was not from him but from WhatsApp.

Good evening sir. The fraudster is not worried about aging in your WhatsApp. All he needs is the groups you are in. He will do a change of number thing so the group members will think you are the one who’s still chatting them up
