I just got my phone ready to use mobile payments through Google Play, and it seems pretty secure.

I work in Samsung support and wanted to clear something up. If you get a text from this number while setting up payments on Google Play, it’s totally normal. Most Android devices, especially Samsung ones, send a confirmation code from this number during mobile billing setup. It’s safe, nothing dodgy going on here. I’m not sure if every network uses it, but for Vodafone customers, this is the standard number you’ll see when authorising payments through your phone.

This number usually gets a message from your android when you set up payments or buy something using your mobile network, like if you pay through Google play with your Vodafone. Don’t worry, it isn’t some dodgy scam.

This number sends out automatic texts beginning with "DCB," which stands for "DCB_ASSOCIATION." Generally, these messages are no cause for alarm; they're basically just confirming that Direct Carrier Billing is set up on your Google Play account. So, if you received one of these msgs, it usually means you've made a purchase on Google Play recently.

Sounds like it's one of those verification messages from the Google Play Store.

I have no idea why so many scammers picked me as a target, but this one bloke has been bombarding me with links since early March 2023. The most recent one arrived just last Thursday, and honestly, it’s getting really irritating. I only realised what was going on now. Seriously guys, don’t click on any of the stuff he’s sending you - it’s nuts.

So many mixed up codes all over the place. It’s impossible to make sense of any of them.

Got a text from 40406, but it was just some random nonsense here in Cardiff.

Just got a text from 40406 and it was a complete mess of letters, total gibberish. Anyone else seen something like this before? It looked like spam or maybe some weird code, not sure what it's about. Bit strange to get nonsense texts like that out of nowhere.

I just got a message with a code in it. Not sure what it’s for but kinda weird getting it outta nowhere. Anyone else get something like this? Feels a bit off to me.
