Why do mobile phones sometimes receive a lot of text messages?

Mobile phones receive verification code messages from many websites for no reason, which may be caused by the following methods:

Someone is logging into a website that needs a verification code, but accidentally left the wrong number.

Your mobile phone number is easy to be entered incorrectly, and someone has entered it incorrectly.

The staff who registered the mobile phone number made an error in registration or input.

Is your mobile phone number wrong or forgotten?

Your relatives and friends use your hobbies to register something.

A stranger uses your number for illegal activities.

Have you ever had such an experience: you didn't do anything, but you actually received a lot of registration messages, verification codes, notification messages, etc. It's no use even if you turn off your cell phone. When you open it, mail will still flood into your inbox? ?

What's going on here?

First of all, under normal circumstances, mobile phones will not receive a large number of short messages for no reason. This situation is either your own operation, your own thinking, or someone screwed up and sent a text message to your mobile phone with a text message bomb.

First, the situation caused by operational errors rarely occurs and exists. Previously, the websites of cooperative customers have encountered problems. At that time, they were doing a kind of forwarding invitation promotion, and they would receive SMS notification. I don't know the reason for their website. A user received hundreds of text messages one night, then complained to the operator and closed the channel.

Second, being spoofed, I don't know who you offended, or someone else wrote the wrong number. In short, this situation is someone bombing you with a tool called SMS Bomb.

This tool has a software version and a web version, and its functions are similar. You can send a message to a number by entering it. I suggest that you don't use SMS bombs to harm others and yourself. The harm of using SMS bombs.

The contents sent mainly include website verification code, order notice, bank notice, consumption notice, etc.

How to avoid it?

If someone really attacks your mobile phone with a text message bomb, you can only admit that it is bad luck. If the other party doesn't stop, they will continue to send you text messages. You can turn off your cell phone, or ask that person to leave for a while.

It is also recommended to install a security software. If you receive a lot of text messages, you may be able to intercept some of them.
