Greetings,
I keep receiving text messages saying "Your security code is: [code] Your code expires in 5 minutes. Please don't reply."
Is someone trying to log into my account? How can I stop this?
I've already changed my password.
Thanks,
Shane.

Apparently this is still a thing... I just got three in rapid fire succession... except I did not get the "do not reply" in the message...and it was from a very paypal-like # With 7s 9s 2s and 5s but it was NOT the number that paypal uses...
In this entire thread it did not look to me like PP had ANYTHING to say about this... which I find quite disappointing.

This just started happening to me, I received 6 text messages with security codes at around midnight last night.
I changed all of my passwords and security questions etc.. Thought it would be done with, but then I just got another one.
Worried this person won't give up? Any additional advice?

You already had 2 factor authentication set up, otherwise you wouldn't have received the security code.
