Why does Vipshop always send me a verification code?

Receiving verification code by mobile phone is a common operation, but sometimes, other operations are not carried out on mobile phone, but mobile phone will receive verification code from a software, website or platform. There may be several reasons for this:

Reason 1: I used to perform app operation to receive the verification code, because the network was busy or the signal was not good, and the verification code came late. If you apply for registration in an app client, operate the app on the first day and receive the verification code the next day, then this reason may be more common.

Reason 2: A way for an app or website to advertise. For example, an application writes the name of the app in the text of the verification code, which is particularly easy to attract people's attention. Let it pick up the phone and have a look, so as to achieve the advertising effect.

Reason three: others' operation is wrong. When registering or logging in some software, you need to fill in your mobile phone number and accept the verification code. It may be because of an input error, the wrong phone number was entered, and the wrong phone number happened to be your own number, so the verification code was sent to yourself.

Reason 4: The app account was stolen. For example, after the account is stolen, others will change the bound mobile phone number. Generally, such an operation will send a verification code to the old mobile phone number.

Reason 5: Suspected of fraud. For example, fraud criminals pretend to be banks and other financial institutions, and take the verification code as the first step to open fraud crimes.

Reason 6: Other reasons. There are many other reasons for receiving the inexplicable verification code. In short, no matter what the reason is, after receiving this verification code, carefully browse the text in the verification code information, carefully recall the operation of the mobile phone in these two days, and improve the awareness of information security protection and financial asset fraud prevention.
