Hi, yesterday I was updating passwords and security methods on various websites and on eBay I enabled 2FA with the Google app. Up to that point everything was fine, my eBay account appears in the list and the code it generates every x seconds works, but the strange thing is that after the first verification SMS to be able to make the change, many more arrived, more than 10 identical SMSs both in sender and in security code.At one point it stopped, but I received another one at 23:27 and the most recent one at 5:27 this morning. I don't know to what extent it is an attempt to steal the account or a failure on eBay's part, I haven't used this website for many months and it's strange that just when switching from SMS to the Authenticator App I get so many SMSs and with exactly the same code as the first one, the only one I actually needed.These SMSs come from the phone +44 7873 077777, which, according to what I've searched, seems to be a number that multiple companies use for their verification systems. I use unique passwords on all my accounts and the antivirus hasn't detected any problems. I'm also worried that they may have charged me for some or all of the SMSs received.
