Scam Score: 88/100
Based on:
This is an account takeover scam. The attacker has already compromised your contact's account and is now using it to steal yours. Sharing the code gives them full access to your WhatsApp.
The Scam Message
Hi! It's [Friend's Name]. I accidentally sent a 6-digit WhatsApp verification code to your number instead of mine. Can you send it to me quickly? It's urgent!
Verification Code Request
Never share WhatsApp verification codes with anyone — not even friends. This code is the key to your account.
Compromised Contact
The message comes from a known contact whose account has already been taken over by scammers.
Urgency Pressure
The word 'urgent' is designed to stop you thinking critically before sharing the code.
