The Google Voice verification code is a natural part of the signup process, but what if you got a code without having signed up?

Google Voice verification codes are sent to confirm your identity during the sign-up process. Enter the code only if you initiated the application.
If you receive a Google Voice code without signing up, someone may be trying to use your phone number. Do not share the code with them; it's a scam to gather your information.
Be cautious and never give out your Google Voice verification code, regardless of the story or offer. If you accidentally share it, follow the Google Voice Help tutorial to reclaim your number.
