Apple verification code....

[albacore]

I've posted this before...changed my Apple ID password....reported to my provider....and still getting robo-calls from Apple giving me a code.

"Anybody know why I would get a robo call from Apple - an actual Apple # - with a verification code number at 6:30 in the morning?
I had not made any access request, of course.
Is somebody probing my Apple account?
Any ideas?

1. I'd call Apple. n/t

2. Do a web search. It happens for various reasons.

3. Sounds to me like two-factor authorization

which means, someone has your login ID and password, but that still needs to be verified with the code. So Apple is dialing the number on record.

Did you run this past Apple? Did you set up two-factor authorization? Maybe Apple's software has been penetrated and is dialing customers with verification codes unprompted. Early in PayPal's life, I got bogus emails from within the PayPal messaging system. They never traced it, they never commented, just the usual bull. It eventually stopped.

It could also be Apple has nothing to do with it. Just someone has your phone number and you're on a dialing list for Apple codes.

4. Same here.

I keep getting password requests on my Apple Watch. When I enter it, I get an error message

5. Never verify a code you didn't request

That’s a very common scam.
