Something like this happened to me but I got more and more verification messages for services I do not use too.
I sideloaded an infected app on my phone (Vanced) and it tries to use my phone as a disposable phone number for 2FA. The number was likely sold on the dark web, so bitcoin scammers, catfishers and a few other bad people tried to use it. I even had WhatsApp messages from horny men in my area who clicked ads on porn sites. They were not very bright.
It all failed because I did not let the app read my SMS. The messages slowly stopped coming.
I only figured out by correlating the start of the messages with the app installation date.
