SIM Swap Scam Calls: Protect Your Phone Number With a SIM PIN

This video explains how a SIM swap scam works: a criminal convinces a mobile carrier, or you, to move your phone number to a SIM card they control. Once they have your number, they can try to intercept calls and text codes used to log in to your accounts. The tutorial shows how to spot calls from people pretending to be your carrier who ask for personal details, PINs or verification codes, and why you should hang up and contact the carrier through its official app or website. You will also learn how to set a SIM PIN, ask your carrier about extra account security such as a port-out PIN, and notice warning signs like sudden loss of signal. Finally, it covers what to do straight away if you think your number has been hijacked.
