Na real scammer... Well just chill.... See below details for your perusal.... Can someone hack my WhatsApp without my verification code? If someone is trying to take over your , they need the SMS verification code sent to your phone number to do so. Without this code, any attempting to your number can't complete the verification process and use your phone number on WhatsApp. This means you remain in control of your WhatsApp . AND How long does it take to recover a hacked WhatsApp ? 7 days Lost access to your WhatsApp You might also be asked to enter a two-step verification PIN. If you don't know it, the individual using your might have enabled two-step verification. You must wait 7 days before you can sign in without the two-step verification PIN. 15 Likes 1 Share |

I believe you got a call from someone asking you to send them the code you just received, and you did. The hacker is currently trying to activate two-steps verification. If he succeeds you'll have to wait for a week. For now, try to again, I believe you can still reclaim it. Or call your s and ask them to report your number to whatsapp. Whatsapp will block you for 24hrs, after that, you can try in Note: Only attempt the second method, if the hacker has successfully activated the two-steps verification 23 Likes 3 Shares |

If you activated two-step verification, the hacker would not have access to the unless your phone was stolen and the hacker had access to the phone, SIM, and email address, which, according to WhatsApp, are the avenues the hacker can use to access your . Now, if your claim is correct that you, the hacker, didn't have access and got your hacked, then WhatsApp would need to investigate this unless you are not telling us where you made a mistake. Someone sent me an OTP for my WhatsApp, I played him for over 20 minutes on the phone that I send it to him, he realised I got him then he was cursing his grandparents before he dropped the call I guess you loose guard . 32 Likes 3 Shares |

I was exactly in this scenario months ago. When i tried to recover i was told someone on a cheap phone is the one using the . The more i tried to reset code, the more whatsapp kept preventing me me from doing so untill I was told I could only reset the whatsapp code in the next one month. That is how i switched fully to another line. For the hacking to be possible, it is obvious the sim was cloned and it got the code to log me out of my device and into his device. The guy used the opportunity to try and scam alot of my s but glad no one fell. E no go better for 9mobile and for the hacker, your fall is coming soon. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Ojukwubucket: Did you tell the whole story? What about the part you revealed your verification code? It is impossible for a whatssap to be hacked if you had not given your verification code in error. If you feel otherwise, educate me please. 7 Likes |

My brother, the first thing to do (including when people lose their phone) is to call telecom network and get your SIM blocked asap. Next switch to a new number and update all your s about the ongoing scam. Then Google to recover your email. They'll block him from everywhere. Gmail will ask you certain security questions if you got like 70%, they'll be convinced. But always, always block your Sim card first. Some people lose their phones and they start rushing to the bank. No, block your Sim card asap. It becomes easier if you activated a recovery email id for your primary email and if you use authenticator (rather than phone number) for your 2-way authentication process Also going forward l, beyond ing your phone, also your Sim, WhatsApp, s, bank apps etc. Mounting several gates makes it difficult for scammers. Additionally always use long s (shorter ones are easier to hack) and use lots of special characters. Of course, make it unpredictable. 6 Likes |
