WhatsApp has no public profiles, so fakes work differently. Someone takes a new number, adds your name and photo, and messages your friends or customers. We report it the right way, help you warn people, and lock down your real account.
We only report WhatsApp numbers that pretend to be someone, scam, harass, or break the law. We never try to take over or read anyone's account, and we never ask for your WhatsApp code.
WhatsApp scams work because people trust a familiar name and photo. That trust is what we protect.

An older relative got a WhatsApp message from a new number with a family member's photo: "Hi, new phone, can you pay a bill for me?"
We advised calling the family member on their old number. It was not them.
Relatives who got messages reported it in WhatsApp. WhatsApp banned the number.
Two-step verification went on, and the profile photo was set to contacts only.
This is an example to show how we work. It is not a real client.

We deal with fake numbers and scams on WhatsApp and other apps every week.
No public profiles and no public posts. We know which reports actually reach WhatsApp.
A hacked account, a fake number, and a fake business each need different steps.
Your messages and case stay between you and the small team working on it.
We never ask for your WhatsApp code or try to get into any account.
Scammers often switch numbers. We help you spot and report the next one quickly.
WhatsApp can ban a number that breaks its rules, for example by pretending to be someone or scamming people. Messages that were already sent cannot be pulled back, so warning your contacts matters too. A scammer can also get a new number, which is why we help you watch for the next one.
Open WhatsApp, go to Settings, then Account, then Delete my account, and enter your phone number. This deletes your message history and removes you from your groups. We can walk you through it, and help you save anything you want to keep first.
Deleting your own account is quick. Getting a fake number banned depends on WhatsApp and on the reports it receives. Nobody can promise a date, because WhatsApp decides. After your free check, we give you an honest idea.
It depends on how many numbers are involved and how complex the case is. Your first check is free. Before any paid work starts, you get a clear written quote, with no hidden costs.
If it is your own number on a lost or stolen phone, yes. Get a new SIM with the same number and set up WhatsApp again, or email WhatsApp support with "Lost/Stolen: Please deactivate my account" and your number. If you do not set it up again within 30 days, WhatsApp deletes the account. Someone else's number can only be banned by WhatsApp.
No. WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, and WhatsApp only shares account details with the police through legal requests. If money was lost, contact your bank and the police straight away.
