SIM SWAP SCAM ALERT
We’re hearing more cases of people losing large sums of money after their phone number was hijacked.
If your phone suddenly shows “No Service”, it could mean someone has transferred your number to their SIM and is receiving your banking codes.
💰 Accounts can be drained in minutes.
🔐 Protect Yourself:
✔ Use banking app approvals instead of SMS codes
✔ Add a SIM porting lock/PIN with your telco
✔ Use strong, unique passwords
✔ Enable authenticator app 2FA (not SMS)
If your phone loses service unexpectedly — contact your telco immediately.
Stay alert. Stay secure.
