The +237 code is for Cameroon, and messages like that are almost always scams.
Here’s how to protect yourself:
- Too Good to Be True? It Probably Is: Promises of high returns with little risk are classic scam tactics.
- Check Their Identity: Search the name or company they mention. If there's no real presence or it looks shady, it’s likely fake.
- Never Send Money or Info: Scammers may ask you to “invest” or provide personal details—don’t do it.
- Report and Block: On WhatsApp, tap the number > Menu > More > Report and Block.
