Watch out for unsolicited verification texts that claim to be from TikTok or Amazon. These messages often contain a short code and a link that leads to a phishing site or tries to charge you for a service you never signed up for. Never click unknown links, and do not share any codes or personal information. If you receive a surprise demand for payment, verify directly through the official app or website by logging in yourself. Report suspicious numbers to your carrier and consider blocking the caller. Keeping your accounts protected starts with questioning any unexpected request.

The message received was identical to the one previously posted by another user.
