Once a scammer gains access to your phone, they also can potentially gain access to your credit card information, checking account details, passwords, and more.
Protect yourself:
- Keep your phone locked at all times.
- Use strong, unique passwords across all your devices, logins, and apps.
- Don’t have your phone “remember” payment information.
- Never share personally identifiable information over the phone with an unverified contact.
- Use a VPN when using public Wi-Fi.
