How can some old contact sent you a Whatsapp to a new number, though on the same device?

Whatsapp, you know, one of that pieces of crap that makes America great... from overseas... and our snotty European lives shittier.

By old meaning a closet skeleton case... an Ötzi (I wish I head reds as contacts) sort of "old contact"... not an actual, current contact.

Maybe it's finding you via your Facebook account?

So he's more aaware of my account there than I am myself... how would he link both, with my Anastasia Frankensteufen nick and total lack of avatar or mug?

Well, now that several hos of sessions past have kept sending me their best wishes, more or less explicitly, for encore sessions, it is clear that having changed the number and removed and destroyed the SIM associated to the old one, does not prevent you from keeping in touch with people through a number that supposedly does not exist anymore, according to your carrier... Actually, it shouldn't be a surprise, since my contacts get automatically loaded on all three different phones so... why not keep those you had on a today ghost number? Whats, like all businesses, only needs a name or number to add yet another user to their database...

Romeo needed the denounce of a fake and scammer that had been denounced by myself through my six different accounts to ask me to remove three (actually two: they were a package of 3+1 of the four they have detected so far, and only thanks to them being the first I used to brand the criminal) and prove I am a "legit" user with a selfie, not with all the other proofs, plus the story behind their "detection", that actually help to settle the question.

We have no idea.

Could it be your Klaus Kinsky messaging style?
