Samsung sending unwanted verification codes without requesting

Sea_Sponge_ — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 06:33:57 GMT

Recently Samsung has been sending alot of SMS verification codes without me requesting for one.

First I assumed that my account was compromised so I reset my password and two factor. After this a day later the text kept coming.

I reset my password again to a 30+ length password and still kept receiving the texts.

I have only my phone and watch as logged in devices and removed all other trusted and logged in devices.

I'm mostly confident that my account is safe but why am I still receiving the texts.

I've looked online and some other people are receiving the exact same text as me so it may be happening to other people.

I've attached an image of my SMS with a real request and the fake requests.

Any help would be appreciated

the string after the verification code is always the same and is the same that other people get.

try disconnecting from the network. It should stop the messages.

Contact Samsung cause clearly there is a reason codes are being sent to you

Maybe I missed something, but wouldn't Samsung automatically send a code since you have 2 factor verification enabled?
