Where did they get my number from? (Whatsapp group invite from unknown)

First time recieving group invite from unknown person in like what 10 years.

Where do they get the my number from? Meta started selling data from WhatsApp ?

He said “his name from dawate islam” which is dawat-e-islam i suppose (found a website with that name )

So should i ask why is he messaging me or just block him

Just block…dont engage and report number to whatsapp

Whatsapp is no longer what it used to be.

Cuntless loan offers are been received almost daily by not just me but even my office colleagues and people around like friends families etc.

Even if you have selected to receive Group invites only from your Contacts..
These spammers, send a DM and send group invite link..

I have 77 contacts blocked in Whatsapp so far.
