I recently had a concerning situation with my WhatsApp account. Two unsolicited voice calls and messages were attempted by a number beginning with +1 (289) 528-73**. I quickly blocked the number and reported the problem via WhatsApp's "Report" feature.

It is critical to raise awareness about such incidents in order to keep others from becoming victims of scams or unauthorized use of their personal information. In an increasingly digital world, vigilance is our best defense.
