SIM Swapping is a serious threat that can leave you vulnerable to identity theft and financial fraud. Here’s what you need to know:

– SIM Swappers impersonate you at your wireless carrier’s retail location and request a new SIM card for your account.
– Once they have the new SIM card in hand, they can quickly access your apps and change passwords to steal your money.
– If you receive a notification about a SIM card change that you did not authorize, contact your carrier immediately to report the issue.

With the rise of eSIM technology, SIM Swappers are finding it easier to pull off their scams:
– An eSIM is embedded inside your phone and cannot be removed like a physical SIM card.
– Thieves are using eSIMs to transfer phone numbers and bypass security measures on financial apps.
– Protect yourself by using complex passwords for your cellular service account and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible.

Don’t wait until it’s too late – take proactive steps to safeguard your personal information and prevent SIM Swapping fraud. Stay vigilant and stay protected!
