What about getting a new cheap phone and a new prepaid SIM card and never connect it with the internet meaning turning off the mobile-data and then use it only for online banking purpose and nothing else. Would that be safe?

[andrewemery]

Thank you so much. A lot of it was way over my head but what i did understand i will do.

[ooooops]

Tmobile told me my sim swap scam was done in store. How they were able to do this is beyond me. The request to have sim changes done only in stores would not have protected me in this instance. Scary!

[teohsoonkeat]

What about the telecommunications software developer that provide the are in the

This is such great information. I'm scratching my head going OMG. I do have a question. Do you know how to delete passwords that is hooked up to Google account FROM the phone without deleting them from the google account? Although I never access financial info on my phone or save it on my computer for automatic logging in.

I have 2 numbers. One for internet communication n one for official use. They swap w me they won’t get anything.

[pismoman]

Very informative. I learn a lot from you. Thank you, my "Sensei"!

I was surprised to see my provider was taking these issues as serious as they were. When I upgraded to the S20 last week. I placed my order online for in store pick up. Immediately got an email asking if it was really me and confirmed it was. Then 30 minutes later I get another email saying my order was on hold until I called the fraud detection dept. After speaking with them my order was finally confirmed. Went to pick it up later that evening and was required to show both my ID and CC used to purchase. Because I know what I do I wasn't bothered by this long process at all. Actually really impressed by it.

This is the best video I've seen about sim swap. I think the best option is to have a separate device offline to log into the other ones

[ogkun]

This is like listening to a digital nightmare 🤣

Is there a reason you stressed writing the code in pencil?

[amygradybsw]

This happened to me. Worst experience of my life. Never i mean never let your phone out of your sight. Especially if you go to get your phone "fixed". Went through 7 phones during covid.

My lady's dad had his identity taken and used once by someone out west in Cali. Apparently bought a house er 2 and like several cell phones. Crazy shit. And back in 2010 I went to file my taxes and they told me that SS# already filed. Like WTF?!? Then 10yrs later I throw away my PIN#, as I wasn't filimg that year, and find out I actually DID need itin order to get my stimulus check!? Oof was that a year long headache! Finally student loans paid off at a deep discount though so that's something. Life's a bitch, get a lock. Just not LifeLock®™😂😂😂

[tomkn]

Hi, Can you make a video about SIM LOCK, this feature available in Android and iPhone. How is the sim lock work? Would it prevent SIM SWAP? AND further more about Esim. Would Esim prevent sim swap since it's not a physical sim card? Thanks

[heinodersanger]

What if you need SMS verification code once to set up a 2FA banking app, is this any better?

[frankyhenderson]
