Imagine receiving a 4‑digit verification code for an account you don’t recognize. That red flag usually signals a phishing attempt where scammers try to hijack your credentials. The safest move is to ignore the message, never reply, and block the number on your device. Double‑check recent activity on all financial apps and change passwords if anything seems off. Enable two‑factor authentication that uses a separate app rather than SMS. Report the incident to your carrier and, if you suspect fraud, file a complaint with the FTC or local authorities. Staying vigilant keeps your personal data out of the hands of fraudsters.
