Expert Opinion

Late night on a Tuesday, your phone buzzed with a TikTok‑style verification code that you never asked for. This pattern points to a classic smishing scheme where scammers spoof popular apps to harvest personal data. The safest move is to ignore the message, never reply, and block the number. If you see similar texts, report them to your carrier and to the FTC’s spam‑report portal. Consider enabling two‑factor authentication on accounts you actually use, and regularly review app permissions. Keeping a vigilant eye on unsolicited codes can stop these fraudsters before they get a foothold.
