Here's how it works. Scammers target people who post things for sale on sites like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.If the scammer enters the code on the signup page, and the personal number used qualifies, Google issues a Google Voice number to the scammer. Fraudsters will sign their targets up for Google Voice to access their verification code and hijack the account and personal information. The scam where you tell them the verification code that gets sent to your number? You're not a Google Voice user, but have been scammed to give your verification code. You don't want calls forwarded to you from Google Voice. Attorney General Ashley Moody is issuing a Consumer Alert warning Floridians about a Google Voice scam that appears to be on the rise.
