If someone calls, texts, or emails asking for a verification code that was just sent to your phone, don't share it. Legitimate companies will never ask for your security code.
Scammers want you to panic. If a message says "Act Now!" or "Your account will be closed today!", stop and verify it directly with the company before taking action.
