I called a helpline recently for a bank. Yes it was their number, yes I made the phone call, so no this wasn't some phishing attempt.

The representative said, "Ok we need to send you a code to verify your identity." I said OK. The text said, "WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR THIS CODE. DO NOT SHARE IT." So I told the helpline I couldn't provide the code. They got upset.

Maybe rephrase your text message wording fellas.
