Yes, as some have mentioned, you are verifying a legit number for someone else's actions.
I never respond to text or phone calls that are not in my phone book. Leave a voice mail and if I like what you say, I'll call you back. My phone book has 600+ numbers
You need a dummy email address for such things. Force Co's to use email over phone verification when you can. Before you know it, it will be mandatory to use the cellphone.
But I don't like the need to be near my phone for verification's to do anything on the web. Apple's faceid is probably the next step but I can see issues with that quite quickly.
Perhaps we need to give away our DNA info....
When there is nothing left that is unique and not hackable... What Then ???
All of your unique and personal info will be floating around out there.
It's the next BIG crisis... 'ID's'
I'm just tired of those giving folks the false sense of security with electronic communication. It is worse, not better. Because they are cheap and lazy and they will figure that out at a latter date. Profits Today ! Loose your bank account at the speed of thought.... Amazing.
