Hello, I am writing from Nepal. A few days ago, I received an audio message on WhatsApp from someone claiming to be Devraj Malhotra from the WhatsApp call center in the USA. He informed me that my number had won $50,[redacted] in a supposed WhatsApp international competition. He then provided me with an Indian phone number to contact a person named Rajesh Kumar, who claimed to be a manager at the State Bank of India. Rajesh Kumar requested my citizenship ID, passport-size photo, bank account details, and I provided them. However, when asked to pay Rs.40,[redacted] for money transfer charges from India to Nepal, I grew suspicious and stopped communicating with them. I am concerned about the safety of my personal information and urge relevant authorities to take action against these fraudulent individuals. The WhatsApp numbers involved are: +[redacted]6 (claiming to be from WhatsApp call center USA) and +91 91[redacted]3 (claiming to be Rajesh Kumar, bank manager at State Bank of India).

Good afternoon, I experienced an issue with my WhatsApp account. When I tried to reinstall it, I received a six-digit code. However, later it asked for another code which I might have assigned previously but currently cannot recall. It mentioned sending information to the email associated with the account, but that email was blocked almost a year ago and I did not recover it. I would like assistance to update my current email in order to regain access to my WhatsApp account, which is crucial for my personal and professional life. This is Alberto Enrique Niño Avilez requesting support. My cellphone number is [redacted]. I have provided my new email address and I am hopeful for your aid in resolving this issue by updating my email.

Earlier this week, on Monday, April 10th, [redacted], WhatsApp experienced a global outage. I, like many others, was unaware this was a widespread problem. I mistakenly deleted the app to ensure my messages were sent, a method that has worked for me in the past during similar issues. Unfortunately, this time around, it did not help since the service was down for everyone. Now, I face an issue logging back into my account because I am unable to receive the verification code as I have misplaced my SIM card. Despite trying all other options to regain access, none have proven successful.

I registered on Tamil Matrimony and someone named Aravind Ramesh convinced me to marry him, claiming I am a widowed doctor with a son. Despite my initial doubts, he continuously brainwashed me through WhatsApp chats, making me believe his lies. He tried to exploit my trust by portraying me as physically challenged to prevent me from leaving, ultimately aiming to scam me out of money. He misled me about his location, pretended to send me luggage, and requested payment for customs clearance, all part of his deceitful scheme. I implore for assistance in recovering the funds I unwittingly gave in to his manipulative tactics.

Three days ago, I encountered issues with my account being hacked, leading me to inadvertently block and report a user while attempting to just block them. Upon uninstalling the app for a reinstallation to retrieve my chats, I mistakenly downloaded the wrong app. This caused me to lose access until I blocked some numbers that had sent me codes I didn’t input. After reinstalling and using my recovery email to log in, I had to change my password. Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in restoring my previous chats despite multiple uninstallations and reinstalls, leading to being banned and then re-banned from WhatsApp. I am currently facing a 36-hour ban, with approximately 24 hours remaining. I kindly request the ban to be lifted to regain access to WhatsApp.

Hello, This morning, I encountered an issue trying to log in to my WhatsApp account. I received a notification stating that my account had been deactivated due to a policy violation. I am unsure of the specific policy I violated and sincerely apologize if it was unintentional. I kindly request the reactivation of my WhatsApp account as it is crucial for both personal and business communication with my family and customers. My business WhatsApp number is +[redacted]6, and reactivating it is essential for processing pending orders and maintaining customer relations. If reactivation is not immediate, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on accessing my backup files to prevent data loss. Thank you in advance for your assistance and understanding. Apologies once again for any inconvenience caused.

I recently received a notification that my WhatsApp account (+92-[redacted]) has been banned. I contacted the help center, and they informed me that my account was banned for violating terms and conditions with evidence and complaints against my account. I suspect that hackers may have been involved as I have received messages from unknown numbers and even verification codes in the past indicating attempts to create accounts using my number. I have important personal and professional contacts, documents, and family groups associated with this number. I urge you to review my case and grant me another chance as my educational and professional life relies heavily on this account. I belong to a middle-class family and have no other means of contacting you except via email. I assure you that I will adhere to all terms and use the application responsibly. I am eagerly awaiting a positive resolution. Thank you for your consideration.

I have been in contact with WA support for almost 48 hours now, but have not made any progress. The responses I receive are not addressing the issue despite my detailed explanations. Can anyone assist me? Here is a summary of what I have already communicated to them: 1. I recently switched to a new iPhone and most of my recent What’s App messages (since late May) did not transfer. I suspect this is due to my previous phone's storage issue which prompted me to get a new one earlier. How can I restore all my chats? 2. It appears impossible to retrieve the messages generated between late May and my phone transfer yesterday. My old phone's lack of storage seems to be the cause, raising the question of why message storage is not solely on the Cloud, especially when photos are backed up automatically. This situation is troublesome as I heavily rely on WhatsApp for both personal and business communication.

I value privacy and believe I haven't violated any policy. My loved ones are expecting me to return to WhatsApp soon. I anticipate the WhatsApp support team will handle this matter correctly. I request my account at +1[redacted] be unblocked.

There is no issue with the app itself; however, I am trying to access the beginning of a chat to gather necessary dates. Someone has been scamming me and claiming to be in a hospital in Techiman, Ghana, but upon checking directly with the hospital, there is no record of them. I want to save the entire chat onto my personal system, which has plenty of storage, but my priority is accessing the initial messages without scrolling through two years of conversations. I am planning to report this scam to StopScammers.com and need to provide them with specific dates.

I urgently need help contacting WhatsApp. My number, +[redacted][redacted], has been banned unjustly due to hackers using my SIM card. I am suffering the consequences for a crime I did not commit. Not being able to access WhatsApp is causing me significant distress and setbacks. My attempts to reach WhatsApp support via email have been unsuccessful as they are not responding. If you know of a better way to contact them, please help me plead with them to lift the ban on my number. I fear this ban is negatively affecting my relationships with friends, family, and business clients. I am feeling extremely frustrated and worried. Thank you.

While leading a discipleship group on 26 Nov 21, I encountered an unsettling message from WhatsApp. It stated my phone number was no longer registered on the app, potentially due to being registered on another device. Despite attempting to verify my number, I received a notice that my number had been banned and was directed to contact support. Upon reaching out to WhatsApp support, I was informed that my number had been flagged for violations and would remain banned. This abrupt action has left me in disbelief as I have been a user for six years without any prior breaches of their terms. Unfortunately, my appeals to WhatsApp's support team have been met with indifference. I seek assistance in rectifying this situation and having my WhatsApp number unbanned. The ordeal has been distressing, especially since my number was verified and legitimate. Your support in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
