Hi,
I didn't register, and I haven't downloaded anything recently. I recently bought an accessory for my Xbox headset on the Microsoft website. Since then, I've been receiving SMS messages about the 'GroupMe Pin' every day. I asked support, who directed me here because someone is trying to register with my phone number. However, they cannot block or unblock my number due to the 24-hour lock, as they attempt to brute force the 4-digit code every day. In my opinion, the solution would be to register, but I cannot because I don't receive the necessary email. It would be solvable if there was an option to put my phone number or the region from which they are attempting on a blocklist. This would solve the problem, if at least this could be set up by support.
