Upstate NY . Was FL.
I created a secondary Apple ID recently so that I could download some apps from the UK App Store. I no longer have access to the cellphone number associated with this Apple ID. It was a pay as you go number that has since been changed.

My partners phone got a text asking for verification. Looks like phishing. This occurred after the initial 24 hour period to access my secondary iCloud account. So timing is the only thing that looks legit.

This is definitely phishing!

A "whois" for that web site reveals this, among other things:
