I've gotten 3 scam messages in only one day (today). 1 of them was to click a fake usps link and submit my adress. (this one was said in the video.) 2, i got one also sent from fake usps. this one sent a file that i dint open DON'T OPEN THE FILE. 3rd i got one to rate trump out of 10 of course i didnt do it, but dont respond. Could steal your data if you respond.
ОтветитьI notice you Googled the Apple login page when "going directly to Apple" rather than clicking a link.. I believe there have been instances of spammers somehow getting ahead of legitimate URLs and bank fraud support numbers in Google's rankings. You should always have a copy of these important numbers to hand, to avoid having to try to find them when under intense pressure..
ОтветитьABC! Assume nothing. Believe nobody. Check everything.
ОтветитьI get texts from 'Evri' saying they missed me and to follow the link in the text to arrange another delivery. I knew this was a scam as soon as I got the first text because the legitimate delivery company just drop everything on the doorstep and leave it without knocking.
ОтветитьWe often get MULTIPLE SMS scams every night. I never click on an SMS link.
ОтветитьThank you for the valuable information
ОтветитьSubscribe - What do you mean by "ALL"
ОтветитьI just googled my name and my husband's and have taken steps to have the information removed. Thank you for another great video!!
ОтветитьI’ve got the following tip. Don’t use the same PIN for opening your phone on your bank account(s) or any important stuff. If a scammer looks at your PIN over your shoulder they can also open your bank account (or whatever).
ОтветитьGreat video. Thank you 🙏
ОтветитьThank you!
ОтветитьMy Dad got caught by the WhatsApp scam. We managed to freeze his account so they couldn’t take anything. Next morning he got a call from the scammers, pretending to be the Fraud dept of his bank, trying to get more information. “Do you have any other bank accounts?”.🙄
ОтветитьAnother very good one is : “ don’t allow control Center when iPhone is locked “. This will stop a thief from turning on Airplane Mode
ОтветитьI love the idea of automatic updates, but every time I get a prompt telling me that iOS is going to update tonight...I wake up in the morning with a message that the update failed. Every...damn...time. It's so annoying. WHY EVEN BOTHER!!?
ОтветитьI am going to get my parents to watch this video! This is great and so well explained that as 70 year olds they will understand it and be able to follow the steps shown
ОтветитьWhy do I not have face ID and passcode in my settings? I have an iphone 13 mini running ios 17.5.1
ОтветитьThanks👍🙂
ОтветитьNotes actually has a biometric lock for individual notes that you want to secure
ОтветитьThe stolen device feature has a flaw, it can store locations like your Favorit pub as a know location and make you more targetable for scammers
ОтветитьGood tips. Thanks.
ОтветитьGood tip sir , I get the sms scam messages all the time , sometimes they are related to paying bill or a fine of some description, a popular one is the toll fee one because we have lots of toll roads in my neck of the woods.
I go by the “ if there is any doubt at all delete” method .
Just never follow links in sms or email. Just dont
ОтветитьThe funniest (not) call was from a butcher’s shop in a different State saying my hubby had left his phone on the shop counter. Except we were laying in bed next to each other. To retrieve his “all edged ph” would have been a 17-19 hour drive. I let all unknown calls go to VM, if they’re legitimate they’ll leave a msg you can understand. However scammers are leaving blank VM’s but if you listen carefully you can hear it’s fr a call centre or you’ll get press 1 for Chinese or 2 for English ignore, report & block on yr phone. Also had the Mum/Dad ph fell in the loo this is my new no., except we only have fur children. Don’t be fooled by calls purporting to be from yr own local area / CBD as often they show up with an international dialling prefix UK +44 Australia +61. Ty. Have a fabulous morning, afternoon or evening Best wishes from Adelaide; South Australia🦘🐨🇦🇺💐
ОтветитьI wish more people knew about and used “Contact Key Verification”. That would verify a text is coming from a know contact. Help prevent grandma falling to the grandson in trouble trick.
ОтветитьWas smished last week...wished I had seen this video. Thank you!
ОтветитьThanks again for some very important advice! I would definitely not spend this much money on a "phone" that I intended to use only as a PHONE. It would make no sense to use it for that and not take advantage of the convenience of all the apps available. So, any help we can get to make our iPhones more secure is greatly appreciated! Your videos plus a little common sense should help protect us from many of these scammers. Of course, they will always keep looking for new ways and loopholes to access and scam the most vulnerable.
ОтветитьWe have a shared note with “sensitive” information. No way to lock it????
ОтветитьYou can lockdown your iCloud account on your phone through Screen Time>Content and Privacy, that requires a different passcode than the one used for the phone. iOS18 will allow you to lock and hide certain apps using biometrics as well.
ОтветитьIs there a way to silence unknown texts?
ОтветитьA huge part of this problem is that landline, mobile phone and broadband customer and other support services for a U.K. customer base are often based outside of the U.K., such as mobile call centres based in the Philippines and broadband call centres being based in India - in my 23 years living here in the U.K. (I’m Irish myself) I’ve long held for many years that this process of outsourcing should be banned as its leading to these scams, companies serving a U.K. customer base should simply not be allowed to outsource outside of the U.K. - only last year, my next door neighbour back home in the Republic of Ireland was very badly targeted by Indian call centre scammers and only that her sons are IT Experts, the situation would have been much worse, as the police are powerless to act when the scammers are outside of the EU - for similar reasons, my broadband and mobile phone package is sky high and I can’t talk to anyone to change it, which I would be able to do if they had a U.K. call centre
ОтветитьThank you, bless you.
ОтветитьI have both my notes and photos apps lock when they are accessed. I try not to have any sensitive information in them but one never knows.
ОтветитьI have an iPhone 13 so I done have iOS 18 on my phone. Which free password keeper would you recommend?
ОтветитьI unsubscribed from my membership just now because it says that some things are shared with other members
ОтветитьHaving no means to confirm SMS origins, I never follow links on those.
ОтветитьAnd I thought android phones was fucked up it’s the dam so called secure iPhones that’s messed up!!!!
ОтветитьYou can lock a note with biometrics...
ОтветитьHow do I remove my name and other information that’s on the dark web?
ОтветитьHow do I remove my name and other information that’s on the dark web?
ОтветитьI hope that I am somewhat more secure because I use FIDO security keys to protect my iCloud account.
ОтветитьThe fact that someone I know was just texting back a reply to such a spam SMS a short while ago makes this kind of content all the more relevant! A lot of folks are unaware of the consequences of such interactions.
Also I don't think these are the only methods in use. I have also experienced silent calls from strange international locations where the other party remains silent when you say "hello".
Perhaps there is much more to learn here. More such hack-eductational videos please!
I have a 8 character alphanumeric passcode. I use Face ID exclusively to open the phone. On those occasions when asked to enter the passcode. I find a secluded place, usually a bathroom stall, to enter it. That may sound a bit overcautious, some say paranoid, but I feel safer.
ОтветитьI never ever follow links in sms or email. Yes it takes a few seconds to go log in on Safari but worth it
ОтветитьRe. the admonition to not use the Notes app to store sensitive information, doesn’t Apple allow the use of a password/biometrics on Notes saved on the phone itself?
ОтветитьWhy no Notes/Photos app? How is passwords app safer? If someone has access to your Notes/Photos they'd have access to keychain, wouldn't they?
ОтветитьExcellent video again. Thank you. If someone steals your phone without your passcode what can they do with it. Is there any value to them and what should one do?
ОтветитьJust a note on Stolen Device Protection. If you happen to be popping into your local network shop for a phone upgrade and you also plan to trade in your device make sure you disable this before you leave home! You may not be able to disable it in the shop and may need to go back home to do so before you can trade in.
ОтветитьThank you for keeping us updated 😊
