"My phone didn't actually ring at all. But I noticed a missed call from an unrecognized number. The female caller didn't identify herself. Instead the woman left a message on my mobile asking me to add her number to my WhatsApp account. Obviously, with no name and no reason given why I should do this, I have ignored the request."
