@allisonsayswhat: PSA: If you’re phone suddenly stops working you might be a victim of the SIM SWAP/ PORT OUT SCAM. You MUST act fast when this happens. Here’s the exact steps I took to get my phone number back in 5 days and prevented any monetary loss. 1. Freeze all of your bank and credit cards 2. Freeze all three credit bureaus immediately. 3. Call your carrier’s fraud department from a different phone and report it. & Add a port-out PIN. 4. File a police report with your local city police dept 5. File a fraud report with the FTC 6. File a phone carrier complaint with the FCC. I pray this never happens to anyone but save this video incase it does. Let me know if this has ever happened to you or DM me if you need help. #scammer #fraud
You can also add a SIM pin lock so that they need a password to do anything with your SIM

should always keep your credit report locked. Until you need to use them.

Thank you for how we should react. But more importantly, how can we PREVENT this??? Can we setup a port-out pin without having to file a fraud report?

most carriers you can log on to the app and switch on the sim card protection. do that if you can. also idk it needs to be standard that any sim switches need to be done in person with ID
