@@MakeOutWithTJ ive heard stories of the tablet devices that are used do this sim swapping services have been robbed from the phone shops. The sim swappers have roughly 10 minutes or so before getting locked out of the device which is more than enough time for them.

Sim swapping is so scary, in theory you could steal anyones information/crypto. Bring back the classic Nigerian prince scam, much easier to defend yourself from.
Wow, stealing $7.5M through SIM swapping? I’m sitting here with my $23k emergency fund, just trying to figure out where to start investing, and this guy just jumped straight to millions! Maybe I need to rethink my strategy... anyone know where I can get a headstart without going to jail?
Haha, I feel you! But trust me, starting with $23k is already a great place to be. It's all about the slow, steady grind. No shortcuts, unless you want to end up like this guy... in court. Might be a good idea to chat with an investment advisor. They can help you put that money to work without risking a felony.
True, true! I’ve been in the same boat, trying to figure out the next move with my savings. An investment advisor sounds like the right call, but I have no idea where to find a good one. Any recommendations?
There are a handful of CFAs. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘' Linda Aretha Reeves” for some years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s known in her field, look her up.

Awesome work, *TECH SAFE GUARDIAN* ! It's so satisfying to see you putting in the effort to stop those shady characters. Protecting the public, especially the elderly, from those despicable con artists is crucial. You truly deserve recognition and appreciation for keeping us secure. I'm thrilled for you because you're my sibling. Your accomplishments definitely make you a strong contender for the Nobel Peace Prize. Keep up the outstanding performance!!!!!
It took me four years to discover that forecasting the market based on charts is pointless; you never know what will happen. Without a mentor, those four years were miserable. Now, I watch market trends and keep things basic and disciplined. I currently earn an average of $35k every week, despite the fact that I barely trade myself.
I'm new to cryptocurrency and don't understand how it really works. how Can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profits from cryptocurrency investments?
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by (Nate Elishaa). A widely known crypto consultant
I started working with (Nate Elishaa) back in February, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.
yeah (Nate Elishaa) was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from (Nate Elishaa). She is my number one source when it comes to crypto and TA.
Thank you, *TECH SAFE GUARDIAN* . Your presence has made this entire process much more comfortable, and I am truly grateful for it. Working alongside you is a pleasure, and your dedication to your role serves as an inspiration to me. I will always remember the help and support you’ve provided me with.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I get that these people have specific jobs but idk it just bugs me how they seem to enjoy getting these poor low level individuals but we almost never see higher up individuals getting in trouble. It's just normal for these people to be earning the biggest returns when it comes to the world of stock market investments.. But that's just normal. They don't need to put any effort into that. Better get this Joel kid who was the clear easiest target in a much larger operation.. Great job guys 👍🏻
@@benmcreynolds8581exactly they enjoy robbing and harassing poorer lower middle class people just trying to make ends meet. It's cops and law enforcement anywhere USA.
Yes, almost all fraud, money laundering, criminal finance, goes through the fiat money system with the compliance of governments and banks. "Crypto" gets targeted because the tribe can't control it, not bitcoin anyway. Bitcoin is far more safe and robust than any fiat currency ever invented.
I wish I have had someone telling me all this before I got married. My husband of 25 years used to behave like a dictator and all the red flags were there. Emotional abuse is a serious problem in a relationship. From emotional abuse, cheating started. THANK YOU *TECH SAFE GUARDIAN* for posting this time to get me all the evidence

Really tho, nothing is truly private anymore. I even question those type of apps that say it hides stuff, im not very tech savvy but I never truly know
Very well done almod cyber genius for stopping even more scammers. I'm from Michigan, My question is why are the USA FBI not shutting more of these scammers down and throwing them into jail for a very long time. They are (scamming innocent people worldwide not only in the Michigan. Keep) up your fantastic work!! You deserve an Oscar Awards For your generosity. you have stepped up with courage and strength!!! you put to do this..
They already had his picture next to his official ID card. It was only a matter of time before they were going to arrest him. He was just the fall guy.
@@HarryBuddhaPalmyour speaking English because it’s the only language you know. He’s speaking because it’s the only language you know. You are not the same as him.
If you get rich quick, never EVER dress like him. Dress classy like old money, you'll blend more and will be left alone and even be feared. Don't go to clubs, or parties... Go to casinos (legit money laundering), buy property (outside the US of course), travel and try to get 2 or 3 passports (some only cost 150K). Being young doesn't mean you have to be stupid.
It is not that difficult to have a separate phone number for banks/finance that you keep private and dont share with anybody. The lack of basic cybersecurity knowledge in the public baffles me. Take all measures you can to keep your phone number private, may this case be a lesson for everyone.
Some people don't have the time to learn this kind of stuff bro, and this applies to everyone, not everyone knows how to change a tire, not everyone knows how to change a broken water pipe, not everyone knows how to farm, I could go like this all day... But I believe the main reason for this is that not everyone got enough money to afford a second phone...
@@TheDankShrimp We are talking about a man that runs a tech company with $5 million in a single crypto wallet and the rest of his wallets weren't even hit. He can easily afford a second phone. It is people like him I'm talking about. Also, honestly if someone can't afford 2 phones, no scammer is going to waste his time on them so they can rest easy. A cheap second hand phone which costs less than $50 and the most basic phone plan available should be a worthwhile investment if you have over $100,000 in savings like the guys in the video.
SIM swapping is a social engineering exploit. The weakness is the people, so using a separate phone has the same weakness as there is a human (an employee at company X) who you can convince to give you the phone number, and now you have the exact same problem as in the video. You should be advocating for physical key (ie YubiKey) as a 2FA (instead of a phone) with no way to recover if you don’t have the physical key. You should advocate for a bank or services in general that support physical keys. Bank of America, Google, vanguard, iCloud all support physical keys, but most people don’t know this. This is way more secure than a separate phone. It’s normal and expected for the average person to not know this, since you yourself didn’t know enough about security enough to know having a separate phone is just a band aid over the problem.
I'll forever be grateful to you for who you are, what you did. Thank you *TECH SAFE GUARDIAN* Thanking you for your support, love, and care to your duties. You are indeed a blessing buddy. i will always remember your good did towards me

Or they will twist it.
*Seeing that public defender say…the judge fucked us…it makes you really hate lawyers. Joel participated in a $7.5 mill heist and got a 10 year prison sentence (will likely get out a year early on good behavior so 9 years). Most people would serve a 10 year prison sentence if it meant they’d be $7.5 mill richer afterwards. That’s basically making $800K/year to spend in a prison which beats any working 9 to 5 job. The sheer amount Joel stole, I’d say he’s lucky to be in a country like USA that gives light sentence for white collar crime and theft. Vietnam will issue the death penalty for that kind of theft. Joel did not get fucked, his victims got fucked. His lawyer doesn’t have a clue.*
vietnam does not issue death penalty you more-on. there has only been 1 penalty in history for white collar crime and it was hundreds of billions ie 34 % of the GDP of the country. stick to facts bi sh

To protect yourself from SIM swapping attacks, use multi-factor authentication with a FIPS-compliant hardware security key, which is immune to SMS hijacking and provides security for your accounts and cryptocurrencies. Using any hardware security key for multi-factor authentication can help protect against SIM swapping attacks. FIPS-certified keys are recommended because they meet stringent security standards, offering an additional layer of assurance and reliability.

Thank you for this awareness and hope the people globally will be aware of a multiple scammer out there, whether romance, crypto, mule, or money laundering...
Lots of people named Joel pronounce it Joe-El, which is historically how it has been pronounced. Shortening it to one syllable is has become more popular (and is probably more common than Joe-El nowadays), but it’s certainly not universal.
I got scammed 85k from someone I know in the UK, I live in Canada. I still don't know what to do and it's been a year. I know who they are and where they live but don't know who to contact 🤦♂
There is no doubt that you will rise fast at the apex of your career *TECH SAFE GUARDIAN* . Because you are a very intelligent, smart, hard worker and your work ethic par excellence. Keep going People like you take the IM out of IMpossible by becoming PRO at tackling PROblems. You Rock!
In order to protect yourself from sim swapping, always: - keep your sim secured via a PIN code, most carriers allow you to set that - prefer 2FA via an authenticator app rather than through SMS codes.

Wow, stealing $7.5M through SIM swapping? I’m sitting here with my $23k emergency fund, just trying to figure out where to start investing, and this guy just jumped straight to millions! Maybe I need to rethink my strategy... anyone know where I can get a headstart without going to jail?
Haha, I feel you! But trust me, starting with $23k is already a great place to be. It's all about the slow, steady grind. No shortcuts, unless you want to end up like this guy... in court. Might be a good idea to chat with an investment advisor. They can help you put that money to work without risking a felony.
True, true! I’ve been in the same boat, trying to figure out the next move with my savings. An investment advisor sounds like the right call, but I have no idea where to find a good one. Any recommendations?
There are a handful of CFAs. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘' Linda Aretha Reeves” for some years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s known in her field, look her up.
Watched Linda Aretha on Bloomberg finance summit 4 years ago and her presentation was terrific!
Just looked up Linda Aretha Reeves, and wow, she sounds like exactly what I’ve been needing. Thanks for the recommendation! Time to take my financial journey to the next level.

It took me four years to discover that forecasting the market based on charts is pointless; you never know what will happen. Without a mentor, those four years were miserable. Now, I watch market trends and keep things basic and disciplined. I currently earn an average of $35k every week, despite the fact that I barely trade myself.
I'm new to cryptocurrency and don't understand how it really works. how Can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profits from cryptocurrency investments?
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by (Nate Elishaa). A widely known crypto consultant
I've come across this name before, is She really reliable?
I started working with (Nate Elishaa) back in February, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.
yeah (Nate Elishaa) was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from (Nate Elishaa). She is my number one source when it comes to crypto and TA.
Thank you, *TECH SAFE GUARDIAN* . Your presence has made this entire process much more comfortable, and I am truly grateful for it.

It is not that difficult to have a separate phone number for banks/finance that you keep private and dont share with anybody. The lack of basic cybersecurity knowledge in the public baffles me. Take all measures you can to keep your phone number private, may this case be a lesson for everyone.
Some people don't have the time to learn this kind of stuff bro, and this applies to everyone, not everyone knows how to change a tire, not everyone knows how to change a broken water pipe, not everyone knows how to farm, I could go like this all day... But I believe the main reason for this is that not everyone got enough money to afford a second phone...
I’m sure if everyone could afford a second phone they would. Remember, a lot of Americans live paycheck to paycheck
@@TheDankShrimp We are talking about a man that runs a tech company with $5 million in a single crypto wallet and the rest of his wallets weren't even hit. He can easily afford a second phone. It is people like him I'm talking about.
Also, honestly if someone can't afford 2 phones, no scammer is going to waste his time on them so they can rest easy. A cheap second hand phone which costs less than $50 and the most basic phone plan available should be a worthwhile investment if you have over $100,000 in savings like the guys in the video.
@@sweet3488 I dont think the average American living paycheck to paycheck has $5 million in crypto hanging around.
SIM swapping is a social engineering exploit. The weakness is the people, so using a separate phone has the same weakness as there is a human (an employee at company X) who you can convince to give you the phone number, and now you have the exact same problem as in the video.
You should be advocating for physical key (ie YubiKey) as a 2FA (instead of a phone) with no way to recover if you don’t have the physical key. You should advocate for a bank or services in general that support physical keys. Bank of America, Google, vanguard, iCloud all support physical keys, but most people don’t know this. This is way more secure than a separate phone.
It’s normal and expected for the average person to not know this, since you yourself didn’t know enough about security enough to know having a separate phone is just a band aid over the problem.
I'll forever be grateful to you for who you are, what you did. Thank you *TECH SAFE GUARDIAN* Thanking you for your support, love, and care to your duties. You are indeed a blessing buddy. i will always remember your good did towards me

*Seeing that public defender say…the judge fucked us…it makes you really hate lawyers. Joel participated in a $7.5 mill heist and got a 10 year prison sentence (will likely get out a year early on good behavior so 9 years). Most people would serve a 10 year prison sentence if it meant they’d be $7.5 mill richer afterwards. That’s basically making $800K/year to spend in a prison which beats any working 9 to 5 job. The sheer amount Joel stole, I’d say he’s lucky to be in a country like USA that gives light sentence for white collar crime and theft. Vietnam will issue the death penalty for that kind of theft. Joel did not get fucked, his victims got fucked. His lawyer doesn’t have a clue.*
vietnam does not issue death penalty you more-on. there has only been 1 penalty in history for white collar crime and it was hundreds of billions ie 34 % of the GDP of the country. stick to facts bi sh

To protect yourself from SIM swapping attacks, use multi-factor authentication with a FIPS-compliant hardware security key, which is immune to SMS hijacking and provides security for your accounts and cryptocurrencies.
Using any hardware security key for multi-factor authentication can help protect against SIM swapping attacks. FIPS-certified keys are recommended because they meet stringent security standards, offering an additional layer of assurance and reliability.
Banks may allow that in 10 years. Banks don’t want to spend money on security and they don’t.

- keep your sim secured via a PIN code, most carriers allow you to set that
- prefer 2FA via an authenticator app rather than through SMS codes.
