EA security codes by text message [ Edited ]

[clone1x]

I received multiple text messages from this (+[Removed - Admin.]) phone number. The texts say "Your EA security code is: ....." With of course a different number each time, is this a valid EA phonenumber or not? I normally receive my codes by mail and I didn't request those codes I got by text, please help.

I have had this too and sometimes it is in a language like Russian?

Never trust unsolicited communication especially when it purports to relate to your account security.

Do not click any links and you should never input your account details after clicking on a link in an unsolicited text/email etc.

Please see the following article for information on how to maintain your account security.

So what happens when it's a real text from EA and you didn't request it but it's on a Sunday so NO ONE IS AT THE CALL CENTER..... does the hacker just win?

Mine are also Russian

These are second verification text from EA but in Russian.

@thouser27 I’ve had those too for the past few weeks. The language is Russian and it’s an EA verification code.
