Foreign and Strange Numbers Are Calling Me from Abroad on Whatsapp

I'm getting WhatsApp messages from fake accounts and/or foreign numbers while I'm abroad. Someone sent a message asking, "How are you?" from a foreign number that looked like a business WhatsApp account and began with +62 888. I blocked the number that sent the message right away and reported it through WhatsApp's report button. Without a doubt, I'm complaining. The information about my account could be stolen, my phone number could be used or shared, or I could be charged a debt. All of the responsibility lies with WhatsApp.
