Imagine getting a surprise text claiming to be a TikTok verification code you never requested. That’s a classic phishing ploy, using a trusted brand to harvest credentials. The pattern across reports points to bulk spam messaging aimed at tricking users into clicking malicious links or surrendering login info. Block the number, avoid any links, and verify any alerts directly in the official app. Consider enabling two‑factor authentication and reviewing account activity for unknown logins. If the number resurfaces, report it to your carrier and to the FTC’s spam‑call database.
