Whatsapp phishing attempt

This morning I've had two texts allegedly from Whatsapp with a code for 2 factor authentication. The first was from a UK mobile (cell) number, and the second had a Whatsapp logo displayed by the text message. Naturally I deleted both of them as I don't use Whatsapp, and it's not installed on my phone.

I also had a voice calll saying '"Your Authorization code is 999999" with no clue what it was referring to. I blocked the number.

As 2FA is coming to UK banks and other online transactions soon, be aware of these ,maybe not so obvious, scam calls and texts.
