There is apparently a new scam going on, people try to sign your number up to google voice
I'm trying to clean out basement and junk. Going to donate some stuff, but put chair up for sale.
Someone sent me message wanting to pick up the chair. Their profile picture looked a bit dubious, so my radar was up. I did text them
they started blathering about a code and I needed to send them a code. I was confused as to what they were asking for, said I don't have a code and wouldnt send one. I eventually did get a message from Google saying here is your authorization code, DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE
apparently they use it to set up a google voice account and spoof your number to scam other people
since I didn't send the code, I was fine
but yeah, another reason I rarely sell anything and just donate it. The small $$ isn't worth the effort to me
