Top Red Flags

The buyer or contact wants a verification code before continuing with a normal conversation.

They claim the code is only to prove you are real, not to access any account.

The request appears during a sale, rental, or classified-ad conversation where a code should not be necessary.

// Steps

How to Check This Scam

Paste the code request into AskdwinAI to detect Google Voice and listing-verification scam patterns.

Never share one-time codes sent to your phone with strangers in a sales or inquiry chat.

If you already shared the code, review whether your number was used to create or link a Google Voice account.

// Report

How to Report This Scam

Block and report the buyer or contact on the marketplace or classifieds platform.

Document the request, the code message, and the account that asked for it.

If your number was misused, follow Google's recovery steps and secure linked accounts immediately.
