Watch out for unexpected verification calls from unfamiliar numbers—especially ones that push a code and threaten deactivation within minutes. Even if the caller ID flags it as "Scam Likely," attackers often mimic legitimate two‑step authentication prompts to harvest personal data. Delete any voicemail that contains a code you never requested, and never enter it on a website or give it to a stranger. If you’re in the process of creating a government account, use the official portal to request codes instead of relying on unsolicited calls. Report the number to your carrier and consider a call‑blocking app to reduce future spam.
