Hello. What we want to cover in this Scam Slam are verification codes and why someone ask us for it?    
But before I begin, I want to let the listeners know that the use of any organization affiliation, that I may be associated with, in any form, whether expressed or implied, does not signify any official endorsement, sponsorship, or partnership with that organization during this session.
These tips are brought to you by the Federal Trade Commission.
When you log into your bank or credit card account, you might get a text message or email with a verification code. You then enter it at the login screen to confirm it’s really you. That’s a form of two-factor authentication that adds a layer of security to your account — and helps keep would-be scammers and hackers out.
Your account password and a verification code work together, like the lock on your doorknob and a deadbolt lock. If you unlock the doorknob but not the deadbolt, you can’t get in. Likewise, if you know the account password but not the verification code, you can’t get in.
The same goes for scammers trying to get into your account. To break into your account, scammers need both keys. That’s why they try to trick you into sharing your verification code.
Scammers pretend to be someone you can trust, and say they’ve discovered a problem with one of your accounts — or that someone’s using your identity. They may know some things about you and sound very convincing. They may even be very sympathetic to your problem: offering to help you set things right … and then asking for your verification code to get into your account.
If you give them the code, they can log into your account and transfer all the money out of your savings or investment accounts.
Never give your verification code to someone else. It’s only for you to log into your account. Anyone who asks you for your account verification code is a scammer.
If someone asks you for your verification code, don’t engage. Hang up. Block their number. Stop texting them. Then report them to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
If you’re worried there's a problem with your account, contact your bank, credit union, or investment advisor directly. Use a number you trust, like the one on your statement or in your app. Never use the number the caller gave you; it’ll take you to the scammer.

Anyone who believes they may have been a victim of this type of scam is urged to report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
If you’ve found this information helpful, please consider sharing. We know that people who talk about scams are less likely to fall for them, and by presenting these Scam Slams we hope to spark discussions by offering conversation-starting ideas. Thanks so much for listening. Take care, be safe and most of all stay healthy!

What’s a Verification Code and Why Would Someone Ask Me for It? Scam Slam Audio

The FIDO Alliance is one of the most important organizations in the identity technology industry. Founded in 2012, the "Fast Identity Online" consortium has been a relentless advocate for the promotion of strong, post-password authentication mechanisms. So it's a very special occasion to welcome Andrew Shikiar, FIDO's Executive Director and CEO, on this week's edition of the ID Talk podcast. Among other things, he delves into the mechanics of passkeys, the very serious threats of phishing and deepfakes, and the rigorous testing process that vendors go through in the accreditation process through FIDO's affiliate labs. He also outlines FIDO's important new Face Verification Certification program, which is helping to standardize the kind of selfie-based identity assurance technology that is now proliferating across various sectors.
