I received an unsolicited call and a Google verification code via SMS from this US-registered number in Washington, which seems like an attempt at fraud.

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.

من از این شماره تلفن ثبت شده در ایالات متحده آمریکا تماس گرفتم بدون اینکه من پاسخ بدهم و در عین حال یک پیامک با یک کد تایید گوگل دریافت کردم، به نظر میاد یک کلاهبرداری است.

Das Ganze ist ziemlich riskant, ich rate dir, es zu meiden, btw. Seriös wirkt das Ganze ganz anders.

Considero que esta situación es muy peligrosa y no recomiendo responder. Una empresa seria se presenta de manera diferente.
Es muy peligroso, te aconsejo que no contestes. Una llamada legítima sería diferente
Isso é muito perigoso, não é uma ligação séria, é um golpea.
It's highly advisable to exercise caution when dealing with this number, as it appears to be involved in a potentially hazardous situation, lacking the characteristics of a legitimate and serious interaction.
Ligação ontem.
Earlier today, i recieved a google verification code, then i got a phone call at 3:15am central time, somebody should definatly shutdown this number.
Der Service prüft, wer sich bei Google eingeloggt hat – total vertrauenswürdig, haha.
Verificación de Google para la persona registrada, completamente seria
Google verifys the person who registred with them, completly legitemate
Eu acho que essa ligação foi uma verificação da Google, pois a pessoa disse que era da Google, e eu acredito, foi uma ligação normal, e eu não tenho nada a reclamar, a pessoa foi muito simpatica, e eu gostei da conversa, é muito seguro, e eu estou começando a confiar, mas eu não sei como.
A Google check confirms the person who registered with Google is completely legitimate
