Financial scams are getting more savvy and freely giving your phone number out opens the door to them 🫣
Once someone controls your phone number, they can control far more than people realize.
I just saw a video of a woman who lost $7,000 after receiving what looked like a legitimate call from her phone provider.
They were able to lock her out of her SIM card, access her email, intercept two-factor authentication codes and log into her credit card banking 💳
This is why I’m extremely careful about where my number goes.
Please be intentional and don’t give your number to websites that don’t truly need it. Use a secure email where possible.
Protect it like sensitive information, because it is. I have more simple privacy tips like this in my guide comment “PRIVACY” below and I’ll send you the link 🔐
