How can i stop this? I've tried with "text-decoration:none; text-transform:none;" but it didn't worked.

Answer 1

This is very common, and occurs also in many mobile apps. What they are trying to do is be 'helpful' and convert them to phone numbers (typically).

To get rid of this, you can add an odd character that will break their find & replace: ‌ (zero-width non-joiner)

So in full:

Test number: 7 ‌000 ‌000 ‌000 USD

You'll need to do this to break any combination of 6 or more numbers.
