Hi all,
Just picked this up from the "Which?" scammers service.

"Fake WhatsApp verification
"Hackers are trying to obtain access to WhatsApp accounts after stealing the identities of their victims’ contacts.
"You'll receive an unexpected but genuine text message from WhatsApp containing a verification code. The text is triggered by fraudsters entering your number into WhatsApp in an attempt to log in to your account. Next, one of your 'contacts' will message you via the app to try and persuade you to give them the code you’ve just received.
"Here’s how scammers have tricked people into passing on the verification code and steps you can take to further protect your WhatsApp account."
