Summary — +13477566963
Expert Opinion
Heads up: the pattern of early‑morning texts and calls offering a "shop code" or "verification number" is a classic red flag for phishing or scam attempts. These messages usually aim to trick you into entering personal info or clicking a malicious link. If you receive something like this, do not reply, do not click any links, and consider blocking the number. Verify any request through the official channel of the service you actually use, and report suspicious activity to your carrier. Staying skeptical and keeping your accounts secured are your best defenses.
