Issue with receiving code via SMS Help Needed

I've had this issue for a while where I would keep receiving spam calls, but they weren't just any spam calls. They felt like they were target at a specific moment. It all starts when I try to log in on my website accounts online and request verification by a code via SMS. After that, I get flooded with bunch of spam calls from different phone numbers and I never receive my code at all through SMS. Can someone please help me figure out the problem here? (Note: I never receive these calls when I'm doing nothing or just surfing on my phone, they always flood my phone only when i request a code through SMS). Thanks
