Hi @EXton19341,


Welcome to the Community Forums! I would love to provide assistance.


A validation code may be used for several things. For instance, with your account, a validation code may be sent to your phone or email to verify your identity while adding or changing a passcode.


If you feel this is a scam or fraud issue, please also visit our site on how to Report Fraud.


We look forward to hearing from you.

I just received a text like this. I thought this was very strange as I had not made any changes to my account. I have reported this to AT&T and the FTC. My question is, has consumer information for AT&T been compromised?

I agree with that question as well. I just received the same message and haven't made any changes to my account.

Just got the same text today from the same number. Haven't done any changes either.

I just received the same text.  It's identical to the one posted by MickiSoFresh, except my code is different.  It looks legit, but it's suspicious that it was sent without being in response to something I initiated.  I don't plan to respond to it unless I can determine what it's for.
