Expert Opinion
Never answer a verification call you didn't request. Unsolicited numbers claiming to be Google often deliver a spoken code, but they can be spoofed or used for phishing. If you receive such a call, hang up and check your Google account directly via a browser or the official app. Do not provide personal details or credit‑card numbers. Enable two‑step verification and add a trusted phone number, then use the in‑app prompt to view codes. Block the offending number on your handset and report it to your carrier. Regularly review account activity for any unauthorised logins.

This morning, an unknown caller from Washington DC contacted my cell phone without leaving a message, although a verification code was sent via text immediately after the call, leaving me unsure of its purpose or significance. Consequently, I have flagged this number as spam.
It's worth noting that this number is genuinely used by Google for two-step verification codes, but there's evidence that it's frequently spoofed for scamming purposes, making it essential to verify its legitimacy based on your Google account settings.
