To be crystal clear: Signal will NEVER message you this way. Ever. And just like with your bank details or passwords, NEVER EVER share your Signal verification code (SMS/Call) or PIN with anyone. Ever. 3/

Contact with Signal (https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/6746004451610-Contact-Us) or any Signal representative will ONLY come from an @signal.org email address, not from within the app. And again, we will never ask for your PIN or verification code. And we do not reach out proactively, only in response to your requests.4/

@Mer__edith , many countries around the world don't receive an activation code from #Signal. In Russia, for example, almost all instant messengers are blocked, except for Signal, Jabber and DeltaChat, and Signal could well have become #1 in Russia if not for this problem with the SMS codes. There is also the problem with SMS activation codes in Nigeria, Pakistan, Ecuador, Myanmar, etc. (Please see at https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/)
