Vinted confirmation code by call and not text

Surprising novelty for me today: when logging into Vinted, they presented me, as usual, with the window asking to verify my phone via a code they send me.

Except this time, the code was sent to me by call (from 01 89 53 20 33 then 01 89 53 20 23) instead of by text: an answering machine spelled out the code to enter.

I didn’t answer the first call because Android alerted me to a « spam » call.
Be warned :slight_smile:

And today it was a call from 01 89 53 20 35 :slight_smile:
All numbers seem to start with 01 89 53 20 XX

It’s quite poorly managed because the notification on Vinted doesn’t warn well about a call. You expect a text message.

I know, I’ve had it before, but for now, for me, it’s via SMS.

But the worst, if you use « Orange Téléphone », the Orange app, at first the calls, directly blocked, you had to identify the number (especially since they change them), add it to the list, what a hassle, but now it’s better.

Do you often have these kinds of checks?
For my part, I haven’t had any verification requests since… I don’t even count the months (years?) anymore. I had this once, shortly after creating my account, but since then I’ve never been asked for a verification code :thinking:

Sorry to reply, it’s just that I have a moment from time to time, sometimes I clean up the computer (empty the cache, ccleaner) and I have to reconnect, so it asks me again.

As a software engineer, I perform actions that can sometimes make Vinted find me suspicious, leading to these kinds of checks:

  • I often clear my cookies
  • I use different devices and operating systems: Linux, Windows, Android, etc.
  • I sometimes use VPNs to test connections from abroad

All of this results in me frequently logging back into my account, which is why Vinted sometimes verifies my identity :slight_smile:

Hello!
I’m reopening this topic because it’s still relevant: you receive a call considered spam. The robot even leaves a message with the code now.

I am hard of hearing and do not speak English, why don’t they send text messages?

Hello,
Welcome to the forum!

They do both: a text message then a call afterwards

In the spam folder, I found this message: « This person / this number left you a message…dial 5555 to listen to this message »
So it is indeed a voice message! I don’t have any texts.
What should I do?

On my end, I receive an SMS first, and if I’m not quick enough to enter the code, then I get a call.
I don’t know if anyone else has other experiences to share?
