Just got scammed I guess by that Google voice verification thing and gave them my verification code I’ve read over all the comments and I was going to fix it did not give them a second number I declined their offer and told them that I would not be speaking to them anymore they were making me feel uncomfortable I went to follow the directions of getting my stolen number back but I don’t even have Google voice downloaded so am I okay and do I need to take the steps to fix get back the number.

In reply to Brandon.

this just happened to me. I’m following the instructions to get my number back. I’m not getting message “enter a forwarding phone number”. I’m getting “Select a Google Voice Number” message. If no numbers come up for my area, does that mean they weren’t able to setup Google voice with my number?

I followed the instructions which did’nt say where to find the ‘+’ sign and added the same number that my phone is using (not google, t-mobil) and was asked to verify with an different number which I did but there is no place to put the number that was shared so I deleted the added number and tried again and used the original code that I shared unknowingly with the scammer. It was not accepted.

I do not understand how this protects my phone number, not my google number?
I cannot change my number it is my business number so if they opened a new google voice account with my phone how can I check?

Hi so I gave my code out but the s c ammer asked for another number like a land line number said my cell number has problem verifying what does that mean? Am I good? I blocked and reported the person. When I go to the website and enter my number it says there’s no number available or something like that when I enter my cell number

Well, that’s great. Part of the process to change the code is to give another number to call. Some of us only have 1 number. Then what ?
