Who texted me from that number?
A five or six digit sender is a short code, leased by an organisation to send texts at scale. Some belong to your bank. Some belong to nobody. Here is what we know about the ones people ask about.
043075 is not a valid U.S. short code. Treat UPS or Amazon delivery texts from it as spoofed smishing, built around a fake fee and tracking link.
Look it up →21581 is Credence Resource Management’s real debt-collection short code. Expect Credence’s name, a placed-account message, and HELP showing 855-880-4791.
Look it up →22395 is a legitimate Twilio Verify/Authy short code for one-time passcodes. Treat surprise codes and code requests as account-takeover signs.
Look it up →24273 is a real Chase short-code for app links and account alerts. Scams copy the look, then push links, callback numbers, or codes. Verify in the app.
Look it up →25054 is Strickland Brothers' legit short code for oil-change offers, visit reminders, and surveys. Check HELP, match the service context, report fakes.
Look it up →28581 is a real Cash App short code for sign-in codes and security alerts. Links, callback numbers, or anyone asking for the code signal fraud.
Look it up →31354 is Fabletics, used for VIP sale, order, and membership texts. Fakes swap in lookalike checkout links or bogus $89.95 credit claims and fee lures.
Look it up →32665 is Facebook's real SMS short code for login codes and OTP commands. The scam is someone asking you to send them the code or tap a fake Meta link.
Look it up →36246 is OpenTable's legitimate U.S. short code for booking, waitlist, receipt, and security texts. Card details by SMS are the main scam tell.
Look it up →41593 is leased by ITR at irsissues.org, not the IRS. IRS texts use 91040 or 34381, so refund or lien threats need checking.
Look it up →44398 is Google Firebase Authentication for app verification codes. Real texts send six digits, name the app, and include no links or callbacks.
Look it up →49388 is Synchrony Financial's short code for account texts, passcodes, fraud alerts, and payment reminders. Spoofs relay OTPs or use fake domains.
Look it up →52547 is a real DraftKings text code for login codes, account security notices, and promos. Fraud copies ask for codes, fees, or payout links.
Look it up →53849 is Bank of America's legitimate Zelle notification code. Real texts are narrow confirmations, with STOP or HELP, not login links or reversal steps.
Look it up →56592 is Zip's real short code for six-digit login and purchase verification. The scam is anyone asking you to share that code or tap a link.
Look it up →58189 is a legitimate Zelle short code for payment and enrollment texts. Fraud texts copy it, then push replies, fake links, or spoofed bank calls.
Look it up →63937 is a real shared short code used for Albert, Waze, and PinchMe-style alerts. Verify it by matching the brand to an action you just took.
Look it up →64013 is Qmatic’s queue and appointment short code. Real texts carry a ticket, place in line, check-in, or Mobile Ticket by Text context, not login alarms.
Look it up →86006 is Bank of America's real fraud and claims alert code for checking and money market accounts. Real texts ask YES/NO, not login details.
Look it up →90831 is a real U.S. Bank short code for ReliaCard and Focus Card balance, transaction and help texts. Frozen-account links are the scam pattern.
Look it up →Checking a text, not a number?
