Ticketmaster Code......a scam?

I just got a text message on my cell phone:

" Ticketmaster code " with a 6 digit number that appeared to be a hyper link.

I've never had any dealings with Ticketmaster.

I assumed this was a scam and didn't open or follow it.

I tried searching for Ticketmaster scam issues but nothing like this popped.

Has anyone seen a scam like this before?

I'll call my banker Monday morning to make sure my Credit cards are OK.
Should be, I changed all my account numbers recently.

What a hassle.


Thanks, Karen :)

Their site says a code is sent to you when you create an account or if you change your phone number on an existing account. Since you don't have an account it's highly suspicious of course. There is the possibility someone registered and mistyped their phone number but I would think the chances of that are pretty slim.

If you didn't click on anything you shouldn't be worried about it though.

I'm just a regular retired guy with a flip phone :D

I just never got a "Ticketmaster code" text message on it before.

IMO, the 'best' scams come by way of my wired phone. Those are endless.
Some are so incredibly stupid they're funny.
But they do show up in searches.
