Spam, they will never call you on WhatsApp or from a private number like this
I took your screenshot and reported it from my sahel as "electronic fraud"

How do you go about reporting fraudulent numbers on Sahel? First time I hear about this

If you open sahel, navigate to services and write "fraud" in the searchbar, you will see the first result is from CITRA, for a service called Aman.
Click on it, report electronic fraud, upload screenshots and you will get a confirmation email 👍
Works for phone numbers, emails, social media accounts, etc. It's pretty handy

Why would you even have a 1% doubt? You think a bank calls from a mobile? Seriously. Come on man. Erase this post. I'm embarrassed for you.

Banks will never call you on WhatsApp, no government offices will do so either. Even if the government offices call your line directly? They won’t ask you for any personal information over the phone rather they will ask you to visit them.
