""New number" WhatsApp scam Said they couldn’t hear me and asked me to WhatsApp them. I suspect it was a computer rather than a real person. It had an American accent."

Spam 6 days ago

"Recorded message asking you to give your details about a supposed fantastic job offer (that doesn’t exist). Then asking you to go to WhatsApp and fill in your details and send it to them so they can verify your suitability. It’s a scam and they just want your information so they can then scam you. Do what I do: report the number and block it. These are both a nuisance and dangerous as all you’re doing is giving them your personal details for a job that doesn’t exist. Please report these numbers and remember never to speak when a strange number calls you, let them speak first so you can work out if it’s a scam or not. Know it’s common sense, but hope that this helps someone."
