Earlier this week, dozens of users reported that the number +12015550123 keeps auto‑populating in apps like Uber, PayPal, TurboTax, and email accounts, often after a breach or phishing attempt. The pattern points to a scam operation that harvests personal data and forces the victim’s phone number into account recovery fields. To protect yourself, audit every service where the number appears, change passwords, enable two‑factor authentication, and contact the provider to remove the unauthorized contact. Monitor bank and credit‑card statements for unexpected charges, and report persistent abuse to your carrier and the FTC. Staying vigilant can stop further account hijacking.
