I had this happen with fucking Google.

I called them about my Fitbit warranty and the rep needed to verify my account and wanted me to give him the code from SMS that explicitly said in the SMS not to give it to anyone!

No my account did not get hacked afterwards. Yes it was a legit service rep because afterwards he was able to pull up info on my previous warranty claim.
