What happens when a stranger calls claiming your phone's been swapped and your bank's been drained? This scenario screams scam alert—fraudsters often impersonate telecom giants like MTN to build panic and extract sensitive details. Hang up immediately; never share login info or click links they suggest. Verify independently by contacting your real bank or provider using official numbers from their websites. Enable two-factor authentication on accounts for extra security, and report the call to authorities like your local consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical protects your privacy and funds without engaging the caller.
Purportedly from MTN, they allege a SIM swap was performed on my device, funds moved from my bank, and they urge me to log into my banking app while they guide a reversal.
