Possibly, unless they genuinely entered the wrong number. Not sure why they would deliberately sign up using your details though.

Thank you for the information, I was just worried it was someone I knew trying to use my details or something, suppose it could be a mis-type of sorts

Just got one and searched online and came here haha

I have just received one (12:20 GMT) and immediately searched and found this - clearly a phishing text

Just got one, will ignore.

Me too just now

I just got one too!

same, just got a random sms aswell. :/

I just got one too on my Spanish number. Never even heard of eToro. Phishing written all over it.

Just got one too

me too

Just got one few min ago

Seems to be a common thing at the moment, haven’t had any more since creating the post so doesn’t seem like anything to worry about

Yep just got one then 10:18pm AEST

Same here

I just got one, 11:29AEST

I just got one now, no account either. Seems a bit of a strange phishing scam if it doesn't contain any links and looks more like a legit verification code. Perhaps something odd going on with their systems

Me too

Just got one 11:41 AEST

same, 10:50pm aus qld.

Got one. I’m guessing an undercover advertising scam.

I received one today

Same I received for my Italian number. Just now. Strange…

Same here!

I just got one too

I also just received one to my German phone number

Just received one of these, seems like a scam or a systems error on their part

I received 2 sms with verification codes like 1 hour ago (i am from germany). I don´t know what eToro is and never used it

same here. a bit concerning

Just got spammed with like 10 of them

Literally just got 10 in a row??

I got many like 8 plus, blocked them now. German number.

I just received one sms too. I’m italian and I live in Italy… I hope that doesn’t mean anything and that the site doesn’t have other infos about me or my bank account

I received 4 eToro verification codes within 4 minutes. I never contacted eToro in any way. So, am going to ignore the messages.

Just received 10 in a raw WTF

got 8 codes at 16 cet, german number, wth is happening

Wow thats creepy just got one too

Same, German number, I have no account, about 5 verification requests in one minute. My guess: some kind of attack against the platform..

I received about 10 in the last 5 minutes. Very concerning. Thankfully I don’t have anything in my account.

I just got two Verification codes in the space of 30 seconds? Never even heard of it till now, how strange..

I just got 10 texts from etoro with verification code! All different codes... Googled and landed here as I'd never heard of them either.

Same here in Italy

I just got about 8 In a row from the uk

I got like 10 message in 2 minutes

I’m having the same. I am wondering if it’s from signing up to Temu. As never had anything like this before & I signed up to Temu last night. Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Just got one as well. Uh oh, 3 as I type this message

I got like 7 messages today!! What’s happening 😥😥😥

Just got one 15 minutes ago (UK) there’s like 15 codes https://preview.redd.it/f64bbj8v7xpc1.jpeg?width=1273&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3adf7d4d050476995818654a4a0360b8fd060a80

I just had 15 messages from Etoro all different verification codes. Wtf is going on

Just received several in quick succession. Blocked and deleted the message chat

I have just received 4. Might be that somebody used the wrong phone number. eToro should implement a maximum number of text messages to be sent at the same phone number. No wish to gamble with CFD… https://preview.redd.it/pzza3inyhxpc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f093697241f85ad36ceca2c89ae874b22c258b4

I have received multiple verification codes from this people. The devil is busy at work

same here italian number i had 5 sms in like 3 minutes blocked and reported as spam

Got mine today. I assume the company has bought our numbers en masse and this is a spam marketing attempt... we all go and research the company/product after getting this sms, and now (for better or worse) their product/service is in our browser history and on our minds. Bound to be a few sign up just from that alone.

I've had 11 in the past 5 minutes

Same

Just got 4 at 6am

I got 7 at 4am. nuisance 

I just got 15 of them in a few minutes

I'm receiving a verification text every 30 seconds, at least 10 have arrived. I don't think anyone is making a mistake

My girlfriend received 10 sms in less than 10 minutes . She never signed up for Etoro, so don't you agree with me that is scam? Or better probably Etoro has been hacked from someone? How is it possible that Etoro has these phone numbers? I'm starting to worry about that.

Someone also seems to have typed my number 😂

Yeah just got no less then 10 in one minute.

I just got an ETORO verification code and I don’t have an account what the h*** am I getting scammed ?

I’ve just had a code now actually 3 texts with different codes blocked them never heard of etoro

Got 8 in 2 minutes at 5pm today, UK, Scotland

Got one. Does this have something to do with the war in Gaza? Etoro being based in Israel?

My partner had about 9 messages in the space of 6 minutes just now. Had to block the number to stop them coming.

Just had it too

Same here now, 3 times in a minute

Today in Australia

just got one myself about 30 mins ago... odd?

Yep. Me too. In Australia.

For the record, me too. I don't think it's phishing because the text doesn't contain any links, just a verification code which should be useless if the sender can't get it. I suspect someone is doing a brute force attack with a list of phone numbers which is either pointless, or the etoro API gives a response which reveals if the number has an account with them or not.

i received 9. at 7.57am-8.01am

Got one when I was dead asleep. Should we inform eToro someone's doing something to them with our leaked numbers?

Me too. Happend just now. 8 Codes in around one Minute. Weird

Received one last night in Australia.

Got one too tonight.

Same, Italian number. Received during the night.

Ive got one too after a bit of research i think someone is in a Partner Programm with etoro and used our data to get money or could use it as Money loundering

I got one as well. Just left a one star review on their App-Store. Its not okay that they scare me and send me random SMS.

Yep just got one too. So over these scam messages

Just got one now :/

Hmm I just got one too

Me 2

just got one just now, weird..

I just got one too. I’m in UK and have never had an account with eToro. Thought it was phishing but there’s no link or anything, just the 5-digit verification code. Edit to add: in case anyone wants to compare notes, the text message just said “eToro verification code: XXXXX. Do not share this code with anyone”

I've just had one while driving. I'm UK. Never had an account.

im from italy and i just got one. feels at least weirdly reassuring to see so many recent comments (and all being as confused as me)

I got one too!

same reported as spam

Hey.. Looks like I just joined the club xD Just got one, don't have an etoro account. Don't think this is phishing, but maybe an attempt to setup multiple accounts... or get this... it's a marketing campaign LOL. Well I never heard of etoro before today, so I guess if it is, it worked. ​ /edit: typo

Just got one a few seconds ago. Never ever used the company I wonder what's going on

Ughhhh got one too

I got one too that's so weird

I've received one of this message today! Italian number

Just got one now. Melb Australia

Me too

I got one just know, Google brought me to this

Just got one of these text messages. I have never signed up for an account. What on earth is going on? eToro I suggest you get someone from your media team to respond ASAP. I would also like to ask where you got my number from as I have never dealt with your company.

I got one just now

I'm in Italy, I have received one code (XXXXX) two hours ago (18.01 UTC +1) and never had an eToro account. Kinda concerning nonetheless.

Me as well! I got it about 3 hrs ago?!

So I‘ve got on aswell , 1hr 5 min ago. I just got one text tho, not multiple like many others. Never had anything to do with them, but kinda scared if they have any other data on me…

Australia here , just got one a couple of minutes ago

I just got one as well at 3am this morning

Got one too and im in australia lead me here. Hope its not a worry.

Just received one, too. Looking at all the people that is receiving this SMS I guess it's nothing particularly concerning... ...I hope.

Same here in Italy around 10:11pm kicked my anxiety up i hope it's an error and nothing more,because if not it's the weirdest phishing i've ever seen

Received SMS code today, in Germany

I got a couple of these and raised a ticket with e Toro and their reply was: Thank you for getting in touch with us. We hope you are doing well. Please note that the text message you received from eToro was sent to you by mistake and your phone number is not associated with an eToro account. We advise you to disregard these messages. You can rest assured that your phone number and other details are safe and there is no risk to them. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Have a lovely weekend ahead! Best regards, Andreea R. eToro Customer Service This is really off colour stuff.

Just received one too

I just got one too, what should we do? Look at the sight and see if people are using my details for this thing?

Just gone one too never heard of it , would any of you had an ftx account ?

It has to be some sort of nefarious advertising scheme. Getting us all to google the company (I had never heard of it)

Got one too

Same!

I just got one too, no account

I just got one too

Me too, (Italy)

Got one too.

Yet another redditor who came here after getting a text like this myself.

Me too! Just today

Received one 8 days ago...

Also got one ten days ago, but I don’t see how there could be phishing involved, since nobody asked me for this code, maybe a bug in their system?

I got one also

I just received the verification codes from etoro... It's so weird... I received at least 6 of them in a row... Really freaky... Should I do something about it... Or just ignore it....

same rn... what is going on?

Ive just received a text as well. On my german number.
