    "S00n. exp. 123456*"

    (*as in the code).

    I needed to sign into Yahoo Mail. I had a code sent by text, but it didn't come. I tried email, that didn't come, then I tried phone again...

    ...and I got that text from +13053377182, not even Yahoo.

    I tried it all again. Text didn't come, email did send, so I resent the text code and it came from the Yahoo number this time.

    UPDATE: Changed my password, signed in, got the same message right away from a +156 number.

    The hell is that? It's like a bad AI tried to replicate humans and badly wrote "123456, this code will expire soon".

    FYI - "+1" is 001 (The international dial code for USA) & 305 is the area code for Miami
