Beware of unexpected verification codes arriving from 833‑961‑1963. These texts are typically unsolicited 2FA codes that scammers use to trick recipients into sharing the number, giving them access to accounts on platforms like Coinbase, Robinhood, Twitch, and Shop Pay. If you never requested a code, ignore the message, do not reply, and never share the code with anyone. Consider blocking the number, reporting it to your carrier, and enabling additional security measures such as app‑based authenticators. Regularly review account activity for unknown logins, and if a code does appear for an account you don’t use, reset the password immediately.
