Not a contact yet can view my whatsapp status

[Android Central Question]

My Whatsapp Status privacy setting is made to be viewed by "My contacts except...". So to my understanding this means i'm allowing all my contacts to view my status except few selected ones. I posted status last night, today when i checked who viewed my status i found a mobile number that viewed my status! It shows as a normal mobile number and it is not saved in my contacts. I don't know this number / person, could anyone advise what's going on?

I'll leave a Link to register so you can communicate here as a guest account you can only post questions but can't reply.
