Should I be worried about receiving verification codes from companies I don't know?
Received verification code from three companies which I have no business with in one day. Should I be worried that my number is used by someone? Or what's happening? Anyone experienced the same thing?
Answer summary
The user received verification codes from three unfamiliar companies in one day and is concerned that their phone number may have been misused. Community members suggest possible explanations, such as someone mistakenly using their number for registrations, and highlight that phone numbers in Thailand can be reused, leading to unintended communications.

Numbers are reused after a short life cycle in Thailand. I got people calling me on a new number asking for someone then myself 🤣

Seems like someone doesnt know their own number. Can't imagine it is anything to worry about apart from someone can't open their grab account to get food delivered
