Is someone using my phone number for Shopify verification?

[Martinn]

Heya, in the past two months I've been getting texts from shopify along the lines of 

xxxxxx is your shop pay verification code

Nothing more or less. I'm assuming someone is using my number by mistake Since I've never had a shopify account (made this account today). And nobody in my family has ever had one. 

I'd love to be able to secure my number since it's not safe someone els using my phone number, and i imagine it's very annoying for them.

Hi @Martinn!

Thanks for reaching out about this. I can help you out no problem.

Although you are receiving these codes, nobody can make a purchase using the code unless they receive it and input it at checkout. Though it's annoying to receive these messages, users receiving Shop Pay codes do not have their information compromised. You are simply receiving these messages because another user accidentally entered the wrong phone number when signing up for Shop Pay. You can opt out of receiving these messages at this link here.

Let me know how that goes and if there is anything else you need!
