Sms stated that I purchased something from Takealot to the amount of 12600ZAR, ref nr and telnr to call if purchase was not made by me. Scary to think that I ordered from Takealot during the week. Definitely a scam

This caller tries to clone my WhatsApp on another device. I received a message from Whatsapp stating "Your Whatsapp registration code was requested for your phone number. If you didn't do this, don't share this code with anyone" The security code supplied by WhatsApp then lists this number 0839195178 as the requesting number.
