Got unwanted call from 216-539-8996?
This is a legitimate message containing a code to check out library books using a cell phone number to verify identity instead of a person needing to have an actual physical library card for their local library. I believe if people are getting such codes but haven't requested the code that whomever did request the code simply put in the phone number incorrectly.
Text "Here is your Libby verification code"
gave me a library verification code I didn't ask for
Unsolicited text with verification code from CW MARS. Central/Western Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing, Inc., or C/W MARS, is a library consortium in central and western Massachusetts
text with a confirmation code for "king county library system"
Unsolicited texts from this number stated I had a verification code from my local County Library in Arizona. Judging that the previous comment on this number stated the same thing, but from a different state, it must be a scam.

Came in as a message asking that I click on "Libby verification number"
