Recent data shows a surge in spoofed authentication alerts citing Personal Capital. The messages try to convince recipients they need to verify a code, but legitimate services never request codes via unsolicited texts or emails.

Block the offending number, report it to your carrier, and consider filing a complaint with the FTC. Strengthen account security by enabling multi‑factor authentication that doesn’t rely on SMS, and keep an eye on your financial statements for unauthorized activity.
