Receiving verification code text messages for apps that I haven’t requested

For the past couple of days I’m receiving a text messages with a verification code for different apps that I haven’t loaded or requested.


“ ###### is your verification code for Locket Widget. “


What can I do? Am I being haked?

Hey, this probably means that someone either types the wrong number in those apps or someone is trying to get your accounts from said apps. i would highly recommend changing your passwords. If the said verification codes are not from apps you have an account on, you can just ignore the messages or block the number that the codes are coming from.
