Chase bank still, as of last week, asks for these codes over inbound calls. Drives me mad. They do so when calling me about fraud alerts, not the other way around.

NEVER answer - like NEVER :) absolutely NEVER answer... calls or text... it is really simple. I also have Chase and I have blocked just about every single number they called me from (probably like 12 over the last decade)

You can hang up and call the number on the back of your card

If you initiated the call (to the correct number) then SMS verification has a low likelihood of being a scam.
