For example a call can come in and ring at both one's Home Phone and Cell Phone. This service is based upon the capability of a Phone Company to send a call to two numbers simultaneously. Once I had a call that was literally 1 one digit incremented from my phone number. Some are numbers like "" which is an impossible number. The scammers most likely spoofed the number in an attempt to make you think it was Yahoo! I'm not sure what the 2FA phone number was pre Dec 15, Today it's what I just shared.Īs msherwood has indicated, phone numbers can be spoofed. Had Yahoo also just changed this number and just happened to get assigned the scammer's old number? Hello Confuzzled.
Does anyone remember what number Yahoo's verification calls came from before ? I would like to hear from Yahoo what the actual number is which the verification code call is supposed to come from but there is nobody to talk to there. When I looked up the number months ago, it was registered to a known spammer, not Yahoo. It was not a recorded voice reading numbers, those were real people wanting me to log into my bank account. That's quite a coincidence!!! The 4 calls mentioned above could not have come from Yahoo because my computer was turned off. Onand again onI was logging into my email and had to get a verification code from Yahoo so I had Yahoo call my phone. I've gotten 15 calls from between and when they may have changed numbers. Later, I got 4 calls fromsome seconds apart, from different live techs wanting to work on my computer all supposedly from Avangate the parent company to PremiumTechSupport and TechLiveConnect but they were all telling me to call them back at the number I called in the first place which started the scam: PremiumTechSupport. On I began to get calls from scammers saying they were working for tech support at a company called TechLiveConnect.
