Phishing attempt? Security issues with iPhone
Good day, this is becoming an occurrence that is causing me a lot of frustration at this point.. I am getting text messages from a few apple short codes for about 6 months now… I need to get to the bottom of this as I am not the one authorizing these requests.
I am not getting a pop up request to my trusted device
that prompts me to click on “Dont Allow” or “Allow”. I am only getting text messages about a verification code. Again, I am not the one requesting these logins, codes.
So whats going on here? There is really no other way to bypass the verification prompt to the trusted device other than once a successful login is performed you can click on “Didn’t get verification code” and that is the only way to get a text code to get through 2FA.
1.Are all these texts phishing attempts? Mind this, there are no links to emails or suspicious websites via the code that is provided.
2.I am not sure if someone might be trying to add my telephone to their appleID as a trusted device?
3.Is someone trying to access my information by the “forget password” feature. They would have to know my login credentials and my telephone number in full….
I am at a loss, all I hear is that these are phishing scams however they are coming from 3 to 4 short codes associated with apple. The links are not hyperlinks to any email or suspicious website. I would like others to chime in on this. Its getting annoying. I have changed my login credentials on Saturday and here we are Wednesday and I am getting another verification code
