Verification code sent from '51472'

Received a verification code from 51472.. is this legitimate? On other occasions the codes were sent from 'Apple'. Just wondering why they're sometimes sent from different numbers or whether this could be spam

Hello Chay228,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you've received a verification code and you'd like to know if it's spam.


If you did not send in a verification code request, then we'd say it's a phishing attempt: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams


This covers how to receive verification codes: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication


If you're at all worried about your account, use: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised


Wishing you well, take care.
