    What are your best tips for not getting scammed?

    • @dawnreneegmail
      @dawnreneegmail 11 місяців тому +20

      My iPhone has caller ID, but if you're an unidentified caller and leave no message? You are blocked. I've probably blocked someone inadvertently that perhaps in the future would say "I was trying to call you!" oh well. Don't open your front door to everybody is another. Look through the peep-hole, ask if you can help them? If female say something aloud like"Jack hold the dog back, someone's at the door", stuff like that. I actually am anti-gun but have a recording from a rifle range of a 12 gage pump action. Everybody knows that sound from Westerns or otherwise. Should I be able to collect m'self to play it on the other side of the the door I would hope that particular sound would encourage marauders to go away. Got the sound after I had to chase off a group of six from my front door and I was absolutely alone, middle of the night too.
      Not all financial safety tips here, but stay safe everybody!

      On a cell phone, don't ever choose the option to "save login" or "save password" for easy access. It saves this data in files on your cell phone, and hackers can access these files easily and see your app login ids and maybe even saved passwords. I know it's a hassle, but always just sign in with an id and password when using an app or web site.
      Also, I recommend not installing and using your bank's cell phone app. Instead, just use their website, and when done and logged off, close the tab and close down your browser. Hackers can easily see what apps are loaded on your phone, and right there they could see what bank you use, and maybe even see a cached id.

    2 step verification can be diverted to a cloned phone. Biometrics use your fingerprint . Facial recognition is another good method. Switch airplane mode on in public spaces e.g. high traffic areas like malls, fast food joints , libraries, airports, gas stations, all are prime areas for scanning thieves.

      You can unfreeze that
      in their presents and when the credit is checked freeze it again. My husband and I came with in one hair of bei g victims of financial fraud by a home repair company because we needed a new roof with the shakes removed .
      I got out of a scam contract by contacting American telegraph Co and had the contract canceled before the three day cancelation window.
      The contract was going to scam us out of 100 grand by running a credit line. They intended to constantly siphon money and abandon the job with the house torn apart, with no customer service, calls answered and they would go no contact.

He took my credit card info (thank goodness not my bank account)l. THEN he told me the insurance was considerably more than the quote. I told him I didn’t want it. He assured me it wouldn’t hit my credit card. But it did. Not only that, but he also charged something else on my card. I tried to file a complaint with the company, but it became clear that they didn’t care. They made it pretty much impossible to get through to them.

I know this from several brokers who are constantly dealing with hackers due to the agents in their offices repeatedly clicking those links and opening files in emails.

    This is good, esp the examples of AI. My favorite tip is the safe word and it doesn’t even need to be set up ahead of time, although that’s best. Just take the time to get to know the people you do business with so you can use the knowledge to verify their identity. Also, turn off SImm card swaps on your wireless plan, esp if you have an electronic SIMM card. The biggest issue is the wait times for customer service and the inability to get back to an agent you’ve been working with. Businesses need to step up to make this easier with the fraud out there.

    This is just an idea, but what would you think of posting a duplicate of this video, using a title like, "Social Security Recipients; Watch Out For These Scams"?
    I freely admit to not knowing the first thing about UA-cam's policy on posting duplicate videos, or how their algorithm might treat something with the word "Scam" in the title. Technicalities aside though, I do genuinely believe that doing something like re-posting this one would be an excellent service to the community.
    I've watched most of your videos now. I'm still many years away from getting Social Security, and only looked at this particular one because I really like your presentations and figured I might as well start educating myself on the details. In a million years, I never would have guessed that it really contained some of the most important content you've ever published, and that it was really about various scams, and some ways to protect yourself from them.
    Thanks again for all the great content that you post!

    I get numerous call daily. I never answer a call. If it’s somebody that I know I’ll answer. If it’s a number I don’t recognize and they don’t leave a message I’ll block the number. If they leave a message it might be like 3 seconds long, I’ll block the number. It’s ridiculous. Basically I block every damn number.

    Never answer your door or phone for people you don't know, especially if you're not expecting anyone. Don't click on any links in text messages or emails. Get contact information off of a companies legitimate website, your card, or statement, not Google. Keep your internet security software updated on your computer and your software updated on your phone.

  • @maaloufgeorge2926
    @maaloufgeorge2926 10 місяців тому

    Scammers are calling all the time and they will continue to do so. The best solution is not answering the phone... If someone legitimate he/she will leave a message. Based on the message you can decide if you will call back or not. Do not let anyone fool you with AI or any other scams.

    This is really getting scary, like in the movies. Life imitating [the] arts [of the inauthentic!]
    I notice it is the urgency (or incitement factor). But has anyone also notice youTube videos skip in rapid-fire between the key points being conveyed makes it appear like spliced segments of different videos. That also is the visual clue that stands out in AI generated videos which upcoming improvements will eventually make flawless to undiscerning eyes.

    I send all phone calls that are not in my contacts to voicemail with the message that I was either busy or they were not in my contacts, so leave a message! I get zero call backs with that number. Text messages that are not in my contacts, i don’t answer. This system requires you to make a contact addition in order to not offend later by not answering or texting back, or if you are expecting them to call you back.

      Each bureau can be called . Then you have to deal with lots of questions that they use to verify that you are legit.
      Then they lock down your account.
      You can have the bureaus unlock for a period of time that you determine - could be a week or a few days or a month, etc.
      I believe you can do this more easily on their websites, but I prefer to call.

    I tell them to tell me what you have and I'll tell you if you're right . ( maybe )
    They wont do it .
    When they say this call is being recorded .
    I say , you are also being recorded. They say you're not allowed to do that .
    I say, well then hang up .
    It's my phone and I can do what I want !!!
