Yes, it is Google's text account, or one of them, anyway. It's legit. If you got a message you weren't expecting, someone else typed in your cell number and was trying to use it for log-in verification. Those messages can be safely ignored.
I was sent a text supposedly from Google with a "verification code) on 1-13-2014. I keep getting them. Sometimes there is mo phone number displayed ... But one of those 6 digit codes instead as the caller ID. Is it really Google, cause I didn't sign up for Anything. This is scary. I wonder if it has anything to do with those hackers who broke into Targets credit customers database... Timing is incredibly fishy.
