Under en sen eftermiddag i Europa, med samtal från USA som stör vardagen, framträder ett mönster av verifieringssamtal från Google. Många upplever dessa anrop som ovälkomna, särskilt om de inte begärt någon kod, vilket kan indikera hackningsförsök eller phishing. Ignorera oönskade koder – dela aldrig ut dem till okända. Kontrollera ditt Google-konto via officiella kanaler för att säkra det med tvåfaktorsautentisering. Blockera numret om det känns misstänkt, och rapportera till Google om du misstänker intrång. Praktiskt: Använd app-inställningar för att välja SMS istället för samtal, och var vaksam mot nattliga anrop som väcker oro. Säkerhet handlar om proaktivitet.
Since the number was unrecognized, I didn't answer, as my policy is to ignore calls without a voicemail
May i ask who this is, exacly?
Initially, this number was used by Google Voice to verify my account, but beware of scammers attempting to hijack phone numbers by asking for a two-digit code to supposedly connect calls, a tactic that can lead to significant issues, including potential number theft and distribution to collection agencies
During a tutoring session over the phone, a client attempted to share private YouTube videos with me, which required an account setup, and subsequently, an automated call from this number provided an activation code, confirming the call's legitimacy.
According to all the message boards, this number belong to a person who try to collect money for a relativs "birthday" gift, and they keep calling my cell phone, i dont answer call from unknow numbers but i allways look them up
I recieved a call from someone claming to be from Google, asking me to verify an acces code
I received a call from this number as well, where the caller was seeking activation codes.
Fortunatly, the call I recieved from this number was from google, providing me with my 2nd step verfication code, wich I had requested earliar
I was contacted by someone claiming to be Ray Clark, a petroleum engineering contractor, who asked me to send money to his supposed daughter's nanny, but I suspect it's a scam
