Verified number to scammer

Dgeilenberger — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 18:35:42 GMT

I’m selling something on Facebook marketplace and the buyer asked me to verify my number and I did. I got a text from Google voice and gave them the code. Stupid. I haven’t heard back from them. The only thing I have linked with Google is nest and I’m worried they may be able to login and disable system if they wanted. How can I be sure that it’s just my wife and I logged in and secure the account moving forward? Thanks for your help

Change your password, turn on 2-step verification.

Hi folks,

Thanks again for helping here, @Bob13. @Dgeilenberger, I hope you've got the answer you're looking for. I do hope you've changed your credentials. Also, please avoid opening any link or answer any sites that are not officially from Google to avoid this kind of concern from happening.

By the way, what Nest device do you have?

If you're still in need of any assistance, feel free to let us know.

Best,

Dan
