I just got a phone call on my mobile phone. It was someone who said they would like to discuss a job with me (I am currently looking for a new job). They said please add my number on whatsapp. It was a recorded message, so the phone rang, I answered, there was this message then the phone hung up.

I hope this is not a stupid question but is this genuine does anyone know? Can you search whatsapp to see who the number belongs to?

Thank you all, I will block. It was only because I happen to be looking for a job that it kind of made me wonder
