Received this Scam message today. It looked legitimate as had similar message to the "Google" number that sends code code verifications.

"G-971201 is your code to connect new device in Thailand. Wasn't you? Contact +61287894297"

Called back and guy said he was a Brit living in Los Angeles, despite me having called a NSW landline number. Gave me a fake employee ID number and then he slipped up by saying that he could investigate someone trying to hack my Gmail account using an iPhone 7. As soon as I asked him how he knew that, the phone went dead. Quite a convincing scam up til then. Though when you think about it who sets up a call centre in an expensive place like LA! Even Google aren’t that rich. 🤣

As with others, scam suggesting an attempt to connect a new device in Thailand, appearing in the same list as legit messages from Google. This ought not to be possible if everyone was doing their jobs properly.

Got a text from Google with a Google verification code for a new device in Thailand and to ring the number. Scary thing was it came in my messages, under Google, alongside all of my genuine Google verification codes.

Mate, I've been getting these Google verification codes from Japan and Thailand, telling me to ring if it ain’t me. Tried the 02 number, and it connects to some bloke, but the 1800 number just says it’s cancelled. Seems fishy to me!
