Answer a friend’s odd message
What an out-of-character message from a friend usually means, and who to call.
A friend’s account asking for money or a code usually means somebody else is typing.
Reach your friend by a route you already had: the number in your own phone.
Key points
- An odd message usually means the account changed hands
- Call on a number you already had, and never pass on a code
What to remember
- A code that arrives by text is never passed on.
- A code sent to your phone is yours alone.
Try this
Make sure the people you talk to most are in your contacts, with a working number.
