Got text message from Apple about my verification code?

Hello guys, all of the sudden i just recieved three text messages from "Apple" which was about verification code, as if someone is trying to login into my account. I got three different verification code AND someone also tried to call me, which i think was "Apple". The phone number that tried to call me was: +***, should i be worried? I've changed my password and the security question just in case. But is this something Apple usually do?

The calls and texts were not from Apple; they were a scam. Apple does not send you codes unless you have enabled 2 Factor Authentication, and you apparently have not if you still have security questions. Further, Apple does not text the codes to you.


You probably should have 2 Factor Authentication as it appears that someone is trying to hack into your Apple ID. See: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
