51472 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 51472 👆 is reported as a controversial number linked to both genuine Apple two-factor authentication codes and widespread scam activity. While some users confirm it as a legitimate source for Apple ID verification, many receive unsolicited messages, including security codes and password reset requests, often without any Apple account association. Numerous accounts indicate phishing attempts via links or threats, with experts advising caution - never click links in unexpected texts and consider changing passwords directly through official Apple settings. Messages frequently arrive at odd hours and may be part of spoofing or criminal schemes. Blocking the number is common, but scams persist via numerous spoofed numbers. Reporting suspicious activity to official channels is recommended to help combat these persistent, organised scams.
Reports on phone number 51472
1 monthI got two texts from 51472 with codes, but I didn’t ask Apple for any of those. Very strange!Apple4 monthsI got a call from this number and it seems like it’s some hacker trying to get into your Apple ID! If you’ve got your phone number linked with your Apple account, they connect it with 51472 and send you a fake verification code. If you enter that code, it’s like giving them full access to your Apple account so they can nick all your info just like you did it yourself. Watch out for this one!Apple5 monthsI just received a text from 51 472 when I was attempting to change my Apple password... Anyone know why Apple would be sending messages from this number?Apple6 monthsGot a couple of texts from this number early this morning, each one had a different Apple verification code in it. They showed up at around 1:05 am, which seemed odd to me. I’ve never gotten messages like this before, so I’m not sure if it’s legit or some sort of scam. Some folks here reckon it’s really Apple, but why would they be sending codes at that hour? Just to be safe, I’m going to update my password.Apple10 monthsWhen you try to sign into your Apple account, you’re meant to receive a verification code. Like, why is it so hard for some people to understand that? It’s not rocket science!Apple10 monthsGot a dodgy text saying I owed parking fines and needed to pay up quick. It showed a link that looked like a proper government site, but something felt off. Glad I checked it wasn’t legit before clicking anything. Sounds like a total scam trying to catch people out!11 monthsYep, can vouch that this number is used for Apple’s two step verification stuff.Apple11 monthsDefinitely a scam. I rang up Apple Support and they told me straight away that the texts weren’t genuine. They said Apple would never send that kind of info via text message. I got a message saying “Your Apple ID was deleted as requested on 27/06/2025” which made no sense. Apple Support checked and confirmed no such request exists on my account. So, it’s obviously just a scam trying to trick people.Apple SupportApple1 yearI don’t even use my phone much, yet outta nowhere I get this two-step verification code for some apple thing. Wasn’t even using my phone then, so that was totally weird!Apple1 yearI think you guys might be messing with the Apple verification code or something.Apple1 yearI’ve never bought anything from Apple, yet out of the blue I got a text with some sort of verification code. Definitely feels like a scam to me.Apple1 yearWait, is this not the Apple verification line? I’m confused by all the comments here.Apple2 yearsLooks like a phishing scam to me.2 yearsReceived a message with an Apple verification code, but I don’t even have an Apple account or any Apple devices. Definitely seems like a scam.Apple2 yearsIt's just Apple's two-factor authentication, but loads of folks are totally losing it over nothing.Apple2 yearsTHIS NUMBER REALLY BELONGS TO APPLE!!! If you link your phone number to your Apple ID for stuff like two-step verification, this is the number they will call or text to send your codes.Apple3 yearsSeems like an apple ID scam. Got sent a couple of verification codes just hours apart for my apple ID even though I wasnt logging in anywhere else. Normally I’d get an email asking if it was me, but this time nothing. Don’t bother clicking any links they send and make sure to block that number.3 yearsGot four texts back to back, each with different Apple ID codes. I don’t even own an Apple account and was fast asleep when they came through, so there’s no way it was me trying to log in. The final message had a link to click on. Seems to me they sent the earlier ones just to catch my attention, then dropped the last one with the link to trick me or something.Apple3 yearsI think 51472 is one of those scam calls, they’re probably after your apple id info.Apple3 yearsTotal scam, claiming to be Apple and obviously trying to pull some dodgy two factor authentication trick. Best idea is to change your passwords yourself just to be on the safe side.Apple3 yearsGot a call saying I needed to reset my Apple ID password, with a link they sent over. Then, a few days later, got another message saying I had only one day left to reset it and gave the link again. I reset my password using my phone’s settings just to be safe… didn’t trust that link at all, figured it’s some kind of phishing scam trying to hack into my Apple account.Apple3 yearsReceived an Apple ID code out of the blue, don’t even own any Apple gadgets. Totally an obvious scam, these leeches have no shame. Blocked the number straight away.Apple4 yearsScam alert - Got a random text with an Apple ID verification code, which I wasn’t expecting. Apple told me they don’t send texts like that to confirm your Apple ID. At the same time, I also got a call from a number with Austin, Texas area code (where Apple’s head office is), plus another text with a code from a sender simply named “Apple”. Definitely seems dodgy.AppleAustinTexas4 yearsGot a message with a bogus Apple ID verification code.Apple4 yearsTotal scam, watch out!4 yearsGot this message for the first time and I don’t even have an Apple id. Definitely a scam.Apple4 yearsFraud alert. I never gave this number for any kind of verification.4 yearsBeware of those dodgy calls pretending to be from Apple, it's definitely a scam.4 yearsTotally bogus, I don’t even have an Apple account.Apple4 yearsGot a call about my Apple ID code. Definitely a scam!Apple4 yearsLoads of these so-called “safe” reviews are total rubbish, just put there by scammers. This is clearly a con, I dont even own an Apple ID and theres no way im up at 1:40 in the morning.Apple4 yearsI keep recieving texts from 51472 about an Apple ID verification code, but I dont own an Apple or ever did. Really confused why im getting these messages.Apple4 yearsSo apparently this really is from Apple when you try to verify your login. Any random messages like this usually mean someone else is trying to access your Apple ID, which might mean your password’s been hacked. Best to update your password and make sure it’s at least 12 characters long to be safe.Apple4 yearsYou have a new iCloud keychain code: #### BEWARE IT’S A SCAM4 yearsGot a code from Apple for verification, even tho I don’t own any Apple stuff. Told me it’s a scam. (51472)Apple4 yearsGot loads of Apple ID verification codes from this number and was a bit worried about blocking it incase it was legit. But after checking, real Apple codes come from "Apple" not a short 5 digit number, so I went ahead and blocked it.Apple5 yearsGot a message sayin my Apple ID password needs reset in 1 day. Looks like a scam so I’ve blocked the number already.5 yearsGot a call out of the blue telling me I had to update my Apple ID by a certain date. Definitely gonna block that number now.5 yearsTotal scam, watch out!5 years51472. Just got a bogus Apple notification.Apple5 yearsIt shows apple but not really sure about it.Apple5 yearsThey told me to change my Apple ID password and gave me a link. Then, after a few days, they messaged again saying I only had a day left and to use the link to update my password. Pretty sneaky approach, but luckily my Apple ID isn’t connected to my phone number like a lot of people’s.5 yearsThis number looks completely made up.5 yearsGot a bogus apple verification code sent to me.Apple5 yearsapple verification texts keep coming non stop, ive gotten loads of em. wouldnt trust em if i were you.Apple6 yearsI just got a security code from Apple through this number.
