@kinscone1952 That doesn't make a lot of sense. Have never heard of WhatsApp being hacked before. You need to explain the issue a little better.

It's a well known scam that has been doing the rounds for a while.

Some info here and much more on Google.

Notorious 'Hi Mum and Dad' scam spreads from WhatsApp to text message - Which? News

You need to report it to action fraud and keep all messages as they will want you to send them to them.
