If you already had a google voice account set up prior to this scam call, is there anything you can do to prevent them from accessing the number? My sister in law "texted" me and sadly I may have fallen for it. Not 100% sure as it told me "I'm sorry, i didn't quite get that." I hung up after that without trying the code again.

Some spammer/scammer is making phone calls & the fake Caller ID they're using happens to be your phone number.

Please let us know if you have any further reason to believe that your number has been compromised - also review the following items to see if they apply to you:

Do you have Verizon Wireless? Customers have been suffering hacked accounts - if this applies to you, contact Verizon and report fraud being committed on your account.


The issue may be that the phone customer (you) were duped into responding to a phone call, text message or email from some scammer, (perhaps in response to a Craigslist ad, an online dating site, a fake email purporting to be from Google about your account, or some other means), telling you some bogus story and telling you to enter a two digit code on your phone. Entering the code permitted the scammer to then use your phone number to obtain their Google Voice number, using your phone as their required forwarding phone number. The only way to fix this is to either "grab back" your phone number from the scammer's GV account, or to change your own phone number. To attempt to take back your number:
Go to https://www.google.com/voice and, if you have never created a Voice account, click the "Get a Voice number" link, and then follow the instructions to get a Google Voice number. When asked for a forwarding phone number, don't enter your number that the scammer stole. Instead, enter some other phone number, at which you can receive one verification call from Google. It can be any home or office or mobile number. You can remove it later, after you recover your stolen number.
This time, do answer the verification call and enter the two digit verification code from Google. Never do this under any circumstances, other than when you initiate this procedure yourself.
After your account is set up, go to this page: https://www.google.com/voice#phones
Click the "Add another phone" link. Now, enter your scammed phone number as the forwarding phone you wish to add. If the reclaim process for this number hasn't been used repeatedly in the past, you will get a warning that the number is currently in use on another account (duh!), and would you like to reclaim it. Respond yes, of course. This will remove the number from the scammer's account.
Don't fall for this scam again.
