Never reveal a passcode to anyone you can't verify. These texts that claim to be a HUD confirmation code are a classic scam tactic, using familiar agency names to gain trust. The sender often pretends the code is needed for a transaction, then asks you to share it or click a link. Block the number, report it to your carrier, and delete the message without responding. If you receive an unexpected code, contact the official organization directly using a known phone number or website. Enable two‑factor authentication where possible and consider a spam‑filtering app to reduce future hits.
Unwanted spam or scam texts should be forwarded to the relevant authorities.

I recieved a text message mentioning HUD, it said it was a one time passcode, and told me not to share it with anyone, seemed like a scam to me
