Why Am I Asked, Every Single Day To Verify My Phone Number? So Far 15 Days.

Why is it, that every day, when I attempt to post an Ad on CL, for the past 2 weeks or more, I am asked to verify my phone #. Also, for the last 3 or 4 days, right before I click to reach the ""Verify your Accont Page by Telephone"", I get a message that says, ironically, ""You're Account phone # has been verified"" and when I go to the next page, it aks me to verify my account by phone. Remember, I've been doing this more than 15 times, just about every day.
