What happened when I received the SMS of WeChat payment verification code?

Misoperation, account theft, swindler fraud, etc.

1. Misoperation: The WeChat payment account may have been inadvertently entered in an application or website, causing the system to send a verification code message to itself.

2. Account stolen: If the password of WeChat account is obtained by others, others may try to use WeChat account for payment operation, and then WeChat will send verification code to the mobile phone.

3. Liar fraud: Some criminals will obtain mobile phone numbers through various means, and then send false WeChat payment verification code messages, trying to defraud my verification code for fraud.

The main purpose of WeChat payment verification code is to confirm that the user's payment behavior is legal and safe. When the user makes payment, the system needs to confirm the user's identity information and operation intention, and verify it by sending a verification code. By sending a verification code, WeChat Pay can ensure that the user himself is making a payment operation and prevent malicious account theft or fraud. At the same time, the use of verification code can also improve the accuracy of payment and reduce the wrong payment caused by misoperation.
