Expert Opinion
Sounds like you’ve been hit with a Yahoo‑account phishing scam. The messages mimic official Yahoo alerts and try to scare you into calling a short‑code that leads to credential theft. Never share passwords or click links from unsolicited texts, and verify any warning by logging into your account directly through the official website or app. Report the number to your carrier and to the FTC, and consider blocking the caller on your phone. Keep your email recovery options up to date, and enable two‑factor authentication to make future breaches harder.
