Got a call from +1 240 348 6593, with caller I'd MD, USA. I picked up and it was a pre recorded voice saying 'your verification code is 590669' and again another 4 or so times. I then hung up. Should I be worried- seems I am the only person here that picked up, I am in South Africa.
Whatsapp is a malicious app that has numerous scams associated with it. Your best bet would be to delete it from your phone. If you have any doubts about what I just posted, simply search for whatsapp scams and see how many there are, way too many for me to post links here to them.
