I've been receiving verification codes for 'Remitly', which is a payment app that I've never signed up for. I'm pretty sure this is some kind of scam or mistake, but I'm wondering if there are any steps I should take to protect myself from any potential issues it could cause. Any advice would be appreciated!

It’s a good idea to contact Remitly directly and let them know what's happening. They’ll be able to investigate why your number is being used and potentially flag any fraud related to it.
Make sure to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your other accounts. It can help protect your personal information even if someone has your number.
Honestly, the best thing to do is just ignore the messages. You can also delete them or block the number if it keeps happening. No need to engage with it!
It’s possible someone just mistakenly entered your phone number for their own Remitly account or another service. I occasionally receive rewards points from places I never signed up for simply because someone used my number accidentally.
