This scam occurs across dating apps, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace. A match or buyer claims they need to verify you are a genuine human rather than a bot. In the background, the scammer enters your mobile phone number into Google Voice to register a new virtual VoIP line. Google sends a 6-digit authentication code to your phone. If you share that code, the scammer links your phone number to their Google Voice account, allowing them to impersonate you, harass victims, and conduct anonymous extortion using your identity.
اہم خطرے کے اشارے
1Demanding You Verify Outside the App
They insist on sending an SMS code to your private number to "prove you are real" before agreeing to meet or talk.
2Code Arrives from Google (or WhatsApp/Telegram)
The text message containing the verification code explicitly comes from Google (or says "Do not share this code with anyone").
3Urgent Demands for the Digits
They pressure you to send the numbers immediately before the 5-minute session timer expires.
How Criminals Exploit Stolen Google Voice Accounts
- Carrier Verification Bypass: Telecom anti-spam systems trust Google Voice numbers linked to clean residential mobile numbers.
- Untraceable Burner Generation: Scammers use your number to spawn multiple virtual numbers for Craigslist scams, romance fraud, and extortion rings.
- Account Takeover Precursor: In severe cases, the code allows them to reset secondary two-factor authentication channels.
اپنا دفاع کیسے کریں اور اقدامات
Never Share Any Verification Code
No authentic dating app, company, or human needs a 6-digit code sent to your phone to verify you.
Reclaim Your Number in Google Voice
Visit voice.google.com, sign in with your real Google account, click "Link a phone number", enter your mobile number, and enter the new code to break the scammer’s link.
Run a Reverse Phone Check on the Scammer
Use Sealed Rose’s phone lookup tool to identify whether the number contacting you is a VoIP burner (TextNow, Bandwidth, Google Voice).
اکثر پوچھے گئے سوالات
Can the scammer access my private text messages or photos?▼
No. They cannot read your personal SMS messages or see your photos; they only used your mobile number to authorize a virtual Google Voice line.
What if I already gave them the 6-digit code?▼
Go immediately to voice.google.com, click Settings -> New linked number, and re-link your phone number to your own Google account. This automatically disconnects their access.
