Expert Opinion

Like a doorbell that rings at 2 am with no one there, this number shows up out of the blue delivering cryptic codes. Callers use automated robocall scripts that read a short verification code over a synthetic voice, often in an unfamiliar language. The goal is to trick recipients into sharing the code or clicking shady links, a classic spam tactic for hijacking messaging apps. If you receive such a call, let it go to voicemail, never repeat the code, and block the number immediately. Report the incident to your carrier, enable two‑factor authentication on your accounts, and consider using call‑filtering apps to curb future nuisance calls.
