I'm getting a few codes minute for the last hour or so.  I've checked to see if someone was accessing my account and there was no evidence of it.  I'm receiving texts from a handful of numbers and i don't want to block them in since i do need to get verification code from time to time, and the number i get the code from varies.

Hi BenjaminDau,

If you're receiving unsolicited verification codes, this means that someone is trying to login your account and unable to pass the verification process. Kindly see the suggestions provided in this article on how to keep your Microsoft account safe and secure.

    I continue to get their emails from Microsoft threatening they would close my account if I don’t verification I have already been hacked one time and they were trying to get money from my friends and my credit card. So now I am afraid of getting hacked again so I don’t want to verify. I would rather go to Microsoft myself and verify My email if I’m able to.
