As someone else said, I got this code after trying to use the DWP wifi. The code arrived four hours late so maybe it's just bad customer service and everyone saying it's a scam forgot they tried to use the DWP wifi hours earlier? Or maybe it's an elaborate scam with a fake wifi portal set up by pineapple in the DWP waiting room.
