I realise it can be spoofed and that multiple companies can use the same shortcode.  I have had one genuine link verification code from them (with a terse message "nnnn is your link verification code").  But the last one came when I was asleep.  If I knew which company (companies) use it then I could perhaps find out which account is being hacked.  I have looked at the list at vodafone but that stop is in teh 2000s.  Does anyone know who uses 3590

I've received 2 verification codes in the past from that short code. One was from Westfield. The other one has no identifiable information.




If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.

Assuming https://one.nz/_document/20230309220133/?id=00000186-c977-d83c-ab96-e97f729b0000 is up to date, it'd be AirBNB (might be a recent allocation too, it's not on Skinny's list).

I have a new one  code 5247.  From One.Nz's list its a federal bank.  But there must be someone else. I keep receiving this message every few weeks xxxx is you link verification code  or your code is xxx.

 

 

 

It would be nice to know what account is being hacked.
