Why do I receive OTP messages from unknown numbers and sources when I try to log in to certain apps on my OnePlus 8?


For example, I recently tried to log in to bumble using my phone number, but I received an OTP message from a different number that had nothing to do with bumble. The message said: "Receipt with Tow OTP is 584137, Vehicle No AB, Amount Rs: 4.1 is successfully generated by the on User GMDA". I entered the OTP and I was able to access my bumble account. Is this normal or is it a sign of a security breach? How can I prevent this from happening again?
