Expert Opinion

If you get a recorded message that rattles off a supposed verification code, it’s almost always a scam. These calls usually pop up in the early hours, sometimes in a language you don’t understand, and are paired with a text that can trigger pricey mobile charges. Never enter the code on any site, and don’t reply to the SMS. Let your carrier know about the number so they can block it, and consider using a call‑screening app. If you’re ever unsure, hang up and verify any request directly with the company through official channels.
