[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1861480, member: 204485"] When you say, "hacked my phone" my guess is they have only hacked your WhatsApp and consequently your list of contacts accessed by WhatsApp. I doubt they have cloned your phone, if obtaining your phone number was all it took everybody would be at risk. I suggest you delete your WhatsApp application, thus deleting all its data on your iPhone. Download and install it again after changing your password on the web site. You might also like to clear your message log. It's no worse than having your Facebook account hacked, something that has happened to many people, they didn't erase their computer HD's. I haven't looked but I'm pretty sure that if you web search what to do if my WhatsApp account is compromised/hacked you will find a process to go through. As for being hacked in the first place, firstly you have my sympathies. Phishing attempts are pretty sophisticated these days but my general rule is to ignore any request for personal details, phone number, email address, user name etc. If something stops working then I'll look into it, at the provider website. More often than not if I suspect something is a scam there will be a web site mentioning it and what to do. [/QUOTE]
