As a GRC cybersecurity student, we have learned to NEVER trust a video phone or Zoom meeting when the contact person will not show their face!
Someone wanted to interview me for a role. Wouldn’t turn on their camera and wanted to record me. I turned off mine too and said I was no longer interested in the role. The interview lasted 55 seconds.
That's a red flag for me no matter what I'm doing.
Of course, this is common sense
Hey....just trying to understand here. Aside from them recording you on video, how can someone get your information just through a zoom call? I have consultation calls with new clients (i.e. people that I don't know) due to the nature of my work....so I'm legit concerned now.
@@adhd_alchemycyber security analyst here, they didn’t compromise him from just a call, it sounds like when they were having him install the “FaceBook Live Button” it was actually malicious software that allowed them access into his computer.
Some rules of thumb I use- never use a debit card, never do business or take a call with a person with an Indian accent.
Got my identity stolen when I was 18 by an Indian guy pretending he was from a university. $54,000 in the hole. Even went to court to prove I wasn't the person doing all that, class action suit. Government still tried to garnish my taxes
Learned that a while ago lol
bruh most of them are black now hahahha......
Lies!😅 you tried it!!!!
Hello this is AT&T how can i help you?
I'm an IT Pro...Here are a few security tips:
NEVER give remote control or remote access to your PC to an untrusted source.
NEVER enter credentials into any website while screen sharing, even if the info is masked.
NEVER click on any links or open any attachments in an unsolicited email.
ALWAYS move like someone is trying to jack your identity.
ALWAYS use at least 2 of 3 factors of authentication when possible:
1) What you know: PIN number, password, secret, etc.
2) What you have: Cell phone, Key fob, access card, etc.
3) Who you are: Face recognition, fingerprint, eye scan, etc.
shut up
Thank you for sharing!
I just took the AZ 900 and passed on Monday. Thanks for these tips. I never thought much about authorization and authentication before. We live and learn.
list looks good- thanks

First red flag was their camera was off!!! Pray God gives it back to you double 🙏
Really good tip. Ask the person if there is something wrong with their camera. This also happens during interviews, which is very dodgy aside from being rude.
That’s why we have to have the Lord 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Never give anyone remote access to your computer/laptop.
PERIODDDDDDD
Sometimes you have to. I use to hate having to do it during nursing school.
Exactly!
HE NEEDS NEW MANAGEMENT. THEY SHOULD'VE TOLD HIM THAT
Everybody needs to watch The Beekeeper to really understand this lesson
My anger... I hate thieves and liars.
You can't call them fools. They are thieves.
I thought that lol they outsmarted him how can he call them fools lol
He got finessed and he calling them "idiots" and "fools"?? 😂😂
I'm so sick of people 😡
People do it to people
People can be the best and the worst.
The thievery is astronomical now. People stealing from hard working. They attacked my sister who is a Pastor. These evil demons are relentless.
Me too 🙄
Join the club; I feel that way daily at times.
I hate to see this….God Bless You. I pray your 40,000 is returned 7 fold & the scammers lose 10 fold
It is done
Oh all the stupid religious talk. Please enough with the 10 fold 30 underfold whatever.
😂 wishful thinking...I KNOWWW for a fact; most of them work for the government.. Just chuck it up.. They been stealing from everybody across the states.. Trying to get that stimulus money back .👀
Agreed, Amen
@ *jslack8973* Amen! I agree with you on that. He needs his 7 fold return because the thief’s been found. *Proverbs 6:30* 🇨🇦
This is why credit card is important. Dave Ramsey hates them but you can file a fraudulent claim and they refund it immediately.
Thank you for warning us, exposing the scam and sharing the access point. You're continuing to help a lot of people. Those scammers will NOT prosper and you will be restored at least 10 fold!
Brother YOU need to CALL The FBI For real now 😭😭😭
Trust me this happens way more than you think, people don’t realize how organized crime is right now, as we send trillions overseas for genocide. FBI don’t care bout this
I had $43k stolen from me and reported it to the fbi cyber crime unit and I have never to this date heard from the fbi. I’ve tried follow up emails and calls and no response. It’s been over 2 years. I also reported it to my local police precinct and after the first meeting never heard back from them either.
For real so they can have them arrested ASAP
You're assuming the hackers are state side or somewhere they can be extradited from.
Sadly, FBI not touching it unless it’s millions of dollars. They don’t care about $40k. Telling you from experience 😤😤😤😤
These scammers do EVERYTHING but GET A JOB , they make me sick.
Someone broke into my car and stole my designer bag and two laps tops that cost $1k + …… people think their entitled to YOUR ish , makes me SICK
They have a job, full time. Stealing our money. 😢.
What’s crazy is it takes more effort to do all this than it does to get a job and work..
Can't leave much of anything in an unattended vehicle these days. Not good to leave a designer bag where it can be seen. That just says to anyone "I have lots of money"..!! Be sure to keep items in a trunk or covered up in your vehicle to help with this kind of situation.
That Parr
Scamming is their job
You never give anyone remote access to your computer. That Facebook 24 hour excuse was the setup to get control over your computer information to get the bag. Thanks for sharing this will help a lot of people
I learned the other day that being a good salesman requires you to provide a good story!
How can some listen to the whole story and suspect nothing... It takes me seconds and i haven't listened to the whole story yet.....
Whats the true message FOLKS....
PROTECT YOURSELF (sign up with aura)
DON'T WRECK YOURSELF (Sign up with aura)
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU (Sign up with aura)
…SMH… I thought I was the only who peeped the play.
Lol 😂 I felt the same way
So much evil in this world!
Yes there are so many evil people in this world. I was standing at the bus stop waiting on the bus when a random lady I don't even know just walked past me in spit on the back of my neck , lucky it wasn't my face but still the fact that she spit on me was so delvish of her. That's just too low to spit on someone who you don't even know for no reason I don't care if she has a mental health illness by talking to herself it's still wrong and when I said something I started following her she then picked up a huge brick. I was on the phone with the police and he told me for my safety not to follow her especially if she's talking to herself and has a brick in her hand. It's like she was schizophrenia.
Spitting on people carries a fed charge, my Mama found out from a friend of hers in DC, Washington. They witnessed down right crazy things happening in that city and people there are no words for the: Just mind blown craziness witnessed!!! You can look up what's considered a crime for any state/city with google.
Yeahhh, that random lady wouldn’t have legs to walk around with… if that had been me! I know you were in shock, but we really must not be surprised by anyone these days!
Too much 💯
This unbelievable
Can we all (As believers) pray for Anthony, the other victims, & ourselves for protections against the evil, wicked schemes of the enemy? Can we all also thank God for the provisions that he provides for each of us DAILY & thank Him that we don’t have to be lowlifes & do the enemy’s work because we KNOW wholeheartedly that our Father God in Heaven & His son Jesus Christ will ALWAYS provide exactly what we need when we need it; further, we truly believe that He will protect us from such evils & will provide for us ABUNDANTLY for following His word & making every possible effort & adjustment in our lives to receive his covering & provision. In the mighty name of Jesus! ⚔️
Thank you Jesus for our lives!
Anthony, you will fully recover abundantly, just trust Him & get closer to Him (consider taking a few days away from media to fast & pray & give thanks for all of your blessings & the new knowledge you now have from this very difficult lesson😢🙏🏽🙏🏽)
Thank you so much for sharing this event. I’m so sorry to hear this and will be praying for you & for us all! ❤
Amen
I already did🙏. In Jesus Name God will have his way with those Crooks ASAP!
Amen 🙏🏽
Amennnn! 🙏🏾
Amen ❤
These cyber thieves are really messing with folks likelihood
Stuff that makes you wonder a sound like a duck at like a duck scam
So many crooks
He means livelihood but we understand!
The frustration in your voice.. i feel for you brother!!
Bro…. as a finance guy, YOU SHOULD KNOW. NEVER EVER EVER EVER put a card with your money on any website or application. Always use a credit card, always risk the banks money before your own.
You mean like Amazon ???😦
@@santaanaluna4563 absolutely
@@santaanaluna4563 - All transactions
Exactly..never use a debit card for any purchases period! Keep your debit card at home locked up and or use debit to withdrawal money from atm!!! This is common knowledge amongst investors.
@@cs.8821 - I just posted that and it was deleted. The control is insane.
Walking you fast is enough red flag. Someone rushes me: its a "no". They will reap what they have sown.
I pray they do, so sorry!💔🙏🏿
I don’t like being rushed I’m old. The one and only Zoom meeting was rushed. I came across to the teacher the wrong way. I didn’t have my camera on until the end. Not on purpose I just didn’t know what I was doing. It’s just so much. It’s too much.
great point!
They got me once, and I was on a video call with my scammer. What I didn't know is that there is a way to pre-record a video, upload it, and have it played while you are on video call with someone.
That's crazy. I'm glad you are sharing this. It's great you had that help & connections with Facebook.
These scammers are on another level
Bro had one pose as a cop a legit officer in our pd. Had supervisor onsite and a lot of details.
Yes they are
@@anthonychestnut4013wow! Good thing I been catching up on news on yt.
This sht is so horrible when I say they are always scamming anyone or anyone, no matter what subject they use as the reason of why contacting you?? LOOK NEVER EVER NEVER GIVE ANYONE FULL ACCESS TO ANY OF YOUR ACCTS!! 😢I’ve been there before it’s so horrific
They're starting to try and take your finances through your phone via your debit/credit card being saved in it. We gotta start typing our numbers every time now
1. Monitor your accounts regularly
2. Use strong unique passwords and 2 way authentication on your accounts.
3. Be very cautious who you give your information to.
Thank you Anthony, sorry you going through this. People so evil out here. It shall come back to you triple fold. Press charges if you can.
Thank You @Anthony O'Neill for sharing your story to warn us. I was advised to Never Save/Always delete your Credit Card, Debit Card, and Bank info from your web browser/FB App/Instagram/Any Social Media account. Unfortunately, if u use your Credit Card on Facebook and some other Social Media accounts and Web Browsers like Google Chrome/Explorer etc, them apps *Save Your Credit Card/Bank Card/Bank Info on it* so you need to *Delete that Financial Info ASAP* afterwards and never Let an Online Stranger Direct You to click on their Links that they suggest becuz theyre scammer weblink addresses that are designed to phish out your passwords from your Online Accounts.
How can you work when making sure tour devices are ok and protected becomes a full time job?
I'm going to be adding two part authentication to everything now. It's a pain but it's necessary at this point.
@@ZomB_ApacAtripZjust use strong password and 2 step authentication
@@ZomB_ApacAtripZ You can't because non of it is absolutely perfect!!!!!!!
I hope they catch those scammers and they get prosecuted to the full extent! We've got to get these people before it gets worse. it's already out of control!!! 😢
Thank you, Anthony, for taking the time.
This type of fraudulent scamming is becoming more common smh
What they do
It’s so common nowadays. People really gotta be careful
All by design…👹🐍
Hashpack did this to me stole 4000 hbars from me. Now I know why ppl and their families get deleted. Don't agree but NOW IN LIFE I understand
I freaken hate when folks take people hard earned money. Especially genuine folks! Can’t trust nobodyyyyyyyyyy. You will be ok. Thanks for the warning.. this to will pass
Amen
My employer of 20 years did it to me. They are billionaires. They did not do it for the money. They did it because they hate poor people. They told me this! This was a class system thing. It is also a good vs evil thing. Be careful who you trust. Trust Jesus only.
Wow the insanity and confusion. This is nerve wrecking and mind blowing.
So sorry this happened to you. It shall come back to you 10 folds. These scammers are finding ways to get their way in. Thanks for the pointers 🌸
NEVER EVER EVER EVER SHARE YOUR SCREEN WHILE LOGGING INTO YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA OR BANK ACCOUNTS.
I don't think I would do it. But I wouldn't have thought anything of it if my password was obscured. Super scary.
Anthony is the 3rd influencer I follow that has been scammed this way in the last few weeks. This is crazy.
Wow!
Wow 😮
Who are the others so if there's additional information we can garner. Thx
They most likely scamming the ones who talk about their wealth, or luxury life style
He's the 2nd that I know of. The other was franchesca ramsey, the writer.
I’m sorry that happened I hope you recover soon
Y'all need to stop trusting everything in social media doing strange business. These people don't even be in the country u live in.
That part
Idk how but I've become susceptible to being hacked and or surrounded by ppl that don't live in the same country as me. I stg. It's always something weird going on around me it's like they stick around and wait until the time is right to play with my life and my emotions.
They believe that they are tapped into the shakers and movers
Facts
Exactly
Sorry Anthony. I had $20K stolen from me. I put the money in a certificate of deposit through a bank. I complained about the bank not sending me quarterly or yearly statements. I moved from Maryland to the west coast for my career. I forgot about the account until I retired 4 years ago. I was going through my investments, I found my CD called the bank and found out the bank was sold to another bank. The previous bank also had lost accreditation with FDIC. I sent letters to the State of Maryland Commissioner just to name a few places. I did an in-depth investigation for 4 months. I was never able to find my money.
I’m researching how to create a Bill and get it passed to require these banks and financial institutions to send their customers annual statements so that it’s less likely that one’s money is stolen.
😮. So sorry you went thru this.
Sorry that happened to you. Did you report it to the Comptroller of Currency?
*Same here! Company was operating under a completely different name & “Disbanded” & around 15yrs of $50 a month….POOF. It’s like they completely vanished w/o a trace. Lesson learnt!!*
If you're trying to correct how banks do business here's another issue you may want to look at, somehow include. A bank I belonged to was sold and the new bank sent me a statement about a missing payment, plus late fees now attached. I had made the payment by check from another bank I belong to, which confirmed the money had been transferred from my account. But the new bank insisted they needed to see the actual processed hard copy check as proof of payment. The very check that the sold bank had electronified and shredded paper version of during processing, so the bank that held the checking account never got the actual check back. Even the employees at the bank that had transferred the funds were going in circles trying to figure out how to resolve the issue with the new bank. There was no hard copy processed check, or actual complete copy of. Eventually we figured out that the new bank could not trace where the money had actually gone. Supposedly wanted to see the back of the check destroyed during processing, on which the info to trace where the money was placed in their system would be recorded. Without which, having me repay the payment was the easiest way to recover the misplaced funds. A mistake I played no part in, never should have been punished for. And eventually, without admitting any mistake or wrong doing on their part, the new bank offered to forgive the missing payment, remove the late fees. But only after making me and my other bank fight them tooth and nail for far to long.
This happens to me when Bank of America took over Lasalle bank back in 2010. They literally closed my account that had money in it!!! And when I gave them the paperwork they claimed they had no record. Now I check all my accounts every two weeks.
Thanks for sharing! I hope you recover from that
Sorry to hear this ! And thanks for telling us about this!
Sorry for your loss, it happened to my Husband in 2022. They tricked him of 12k, he almost lost his mind. These people are crazy.

Thank you for sharing. Good to aware of these scams
I just told my 14 year old nephew yesterday, if they won't FaceTime u, they're not who they say they are, that's messed up bro... the man got u!😮
I am unemployed. I had a job interview that was done via chat. I thought it odd but I need a job. Messaged the HR person and she said she and her company are being hacked. Glad I did not accept the offer. The only odd thing they asked was the name of my bank. It is hard enough to get a job and having to deal with this foolishness.
Yes, they were so many scammers in pandemic time I was unemployed back pandemic in 2020. These temporary agencies jobs calling me from different states who some speaking foreign, they're saying they need my last four numbers of social security over the phone before I get interview or see an HR. Hello No. Cause I know temp agencies in my state don't ask for that last SS number over phone. It was very terrible.
Yes, its scary. Even when you’re cautious, they cleverly find a way
I listened to a near retiring Canadian man who lost over 90,000 Canadian dollars. The money apparently went to an account in India. They're the most cruel scamming people at the moment.
Some have been doing it for years. I once had my purchase charged twice by an Indian shop in UK. The bank reimbursed me. Thank God. Zim.
Lots of job scams out there. They offer you an immediate sign on bonus and email it as a check - expect it to bounce. You’re supposed to buy equipment with it from them. It’s pretty sophisticated. They even use real names of companies and actual previous employees.
Be careful out there. Risk not getting an interview by asking identifying questions early. Once they know you’re onto them, they stop engaging.
Exactly! Why scam anyone especially the ones looking for a job. SMH I’d advise to freeze your credit while looking for a job. Check the address of the job on google street view(see if it exists), go to domain checker (shows when they created the business website), check out the LLC information see if it’s active, check the names of the staff on google and see if they have any affiliation with the company ( LinkedIn), see if getting paid by check is an option before direct deposit.. but most of all pray for discernment. That’s a shame we have to investigate this extensively 😅 stay safe❤!
I’m so sorry this happened to you, but thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for the transparency and warning signs to look out for. Man. I'm sorry this happened to you. This wild.
You had me at fast talking, anytime someone fast talks me, im done!!! Period
That was the real red flag right there
I don't like fast talkers.....I had a fast talking uncle and he was about the streets
That first person who talked you through getting the Facebook live was the hacker. Never let anyone take remote access to your computer.
Sorry to hear, man. Keep your head up high.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I pray God doubles your blessings. You sharing your experiences, good or bad, to help others is very much appreciated. I pray we all stay prayed up, informed and protected.
Anthony you need a cybersecurity analyst on your team. I am a cybersecurity professional. But “you” need someone monitoring everything you going forward.
Agreed. I had a huge sum of money stolen from me as well. I was extremely hurt. But it's ok. I heard about Aura. I got with them so quick. Look it up. They cover everything. Trick me once, shame on you. Trick me twice, shame on me. I made sure that doesn't happen to me again!!
Great idea. In addition, his staff also could use training to help recognize potential threats, and phishing that comes through as well.
I agree
ASAP
All y’all computer still have the software in there anything u open and change password they will still get it
Never allow anyone you don't know to screen share. They will take control and look at or change your personal things while distracting you.
Thank you for the warning.
@@lookingtowardsthesun no problem I work in a field where we have to screen share all the time even IT from our own company have to be recorded when screen sharing.
When you’re dealing with the IT department, they require you to screen share in order to help you figure out what’s going on with your computer. I’ve done it dozens of times with no issues. So the important thing is to make sure that you’re calling the right IT phone number And so on. But to say never screen share in this day and age where technology is king, it’s not practical. That’s like telling people never use credit cards because someone could steal your credit card information. We know that credit cards just like sharing your screen with the IT department is a convenience, particularly when doing things remotely. So we can’t throw out the baby with the bathwater so to speak.
@@TravelsoFun I'm not saying not to screen share. I'm saying don't do it with people you don't know or work with. I work for a company that screen share all the time to fix things on the computer.
Lol I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure he knows that now!
Thank you Anthony for sharing and advising. This is a Blessing.
😮 *This is a 30 minute Aura infomercial*
Finally, I see someone else figured this out too.
I thought I was the only one who sniffed out the play. I actually came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t tripping. SMH…
@@MsJamillah2 Same! His acting SUCKS, then I noticed the ONLY thing in the vid descrip'n AND the pinned comment is the Aura link. then clicked on the Aura website, which instantly told the tale. But ffs, HOW do this many people not only NOT see it, but not even question it. This platform is a Hellscape of con artist!
@@SandySez I am so disappointed in him. Did you see anywhere in the video (I didn’t watch the whole thing) on the screen or mentioned by him that it’s an ad? If not, there is a level of deceit that I’m so surprised to see in one of his videos. The good he shares is keeping me subscribed but now I’ll be on high alert. [BTW… For my job and the sensitivity of materials I’ve had access to, annual security trainings are a requirement. There are a couple of things he said that raised red flags BUT what he described was a new scenario for a very common scam. I’m not sure if he made it up or it really happened but I’ll be watching things through a different lens moving forward.]
@@MsJamillah2 Nope I saw no ad, but also didn't watch the whole thing. This showed up in my feed several times. I'm not a subscriber & never see him before. (This is the result of the self-proclaimed 'entrepreneur' playing the algorithm. They know exactly how to do this.) It played a bit as I was falling asleep, I listened but something felt 'off'. I played it again the next day and the more I listened to, the more something was OFF (his script and acting are both terrible). Repetitive, fear-mongering storyline with NO receipts.
I noticed the Aura link being the ONLY thing in the description as well as the pinned comment, & found he's not only at the top of the website, but quoted throughout and prominently pictured again further down.
I guarantee you if you dig into the Aura company and business registrations you will find HIM as the profiteer. I'm not wasting my time.
Most of these 'wealth & success' charlatans use photoshopped lifestyle photos, pose in front of borrowed high-end vehicles & homes, etc. Whatever funds they DO live off of, is by selling lies & BS to separate loyal followers from their own $.
I deleted his video from my YT history and deleted the Aura website cookies from my browser. I wouldn't put my $ or my data in the path of that bogus company even if they gave me a free lifetime account.
Dear God, it is beyond me how horrible, dirty and deceitful people can be. This world is so scary 😢

Definitely be careful when giving remote access to ANYONE. They were trying to schedule a follow-up to complete the process. Hopefully you changed all your accounts checking/savings/credit and debit cards. Fraud Analyst here, this is my daily job
Noooo never let anyone do a tech run or remote onto your PC system!!!! They can install a worm or trojan horse, or a backdoor virus and scan your computer to steal credentials off your computer, plus the hacker was moving fast so you get distracted. This is why I completed my degree in CyberSecurity.. So I can protect my information and other people information... Sorrry to hear this!
I'm doing cybersecurity now
@@jocelyndee1906 Yayy! Congrats
Great idea.
You don’t need a degree for that. Just common sense.
It’s getting harder and harder to avoid these scammers😢
I almost fell for a scam being masked as Facebook until they asked for my password.. It was a “warning of a violation” scam.
Lord please stop these people !!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Unfortunately we are living in the devil’s playground here on earth. It’s never going to stop only get worse. We have to stay prayed up and alert! Never drop your guard. It’s the only way to survive.
Grow up and monitor your accounts.
Whenever I receive messages needing a response from me, I call the company directly and verify they are trying to contact me; that typing back and forth will get you in trouble everytime
I am so sorry to hear this. The violation is so disgusting!
Definitely will get aura for precautions. God bless Anthony
I would never just trust someone Ive never met, on zoom and isn't showing their face and wants to connect to your computer .big red flag!!
Yep! What does Kelce have to say about his name being used for naught?
Yep! What does Kelce have to say about his name being used for naught?
He should have called the show to confirm before accepting to go on the show (2) never trust anything coming from fb
I had this same thing yesterday, thank God I didn’t share anything with the so called lady . I immediately blocked her . Oh boy this is serious
A major company transferred out like 50 or $100M on a fake Zoom call....smh...
There’s this lady with 2 way authentication that still was robbed $15,000.00
@lourdie12 she would've gave the code for the 2nd level of authentication.
So sad! May the Lord God, Jehova Jireh restore what the locusts have devoured!
So sorry this happened to you. I am hearing this more and more from my friends. It is so hard to be on your guard at all times. Even the smartest people can get scammed.
Thanks for sharing this experience. I’ll definitely be taking these actions.
I contacted the IRS the other day to settle a tax bill debt only to find out that my account was flagged for fraud. I was told that multiple tax returns were submitted for a current year and previous year. (I did not file those returns). As a result I had to go through multiple layers of security questions, etc.etc. etc. to resolve tax bill. I spent all day on the phone with the IRS which was exhausting. Long story short I believe my info was stolen when I used an online tax return platform to do my taxes... There is more to this story but I will caution anyone to think twice before using an online tax platform to prepare your taxes. Thank you Anthony for sharing your story..
Wow. That's crazy. I've been using Turbo Tax for the past several years to file my taxes. 😮
Thank you for the sharing your story. This will help many people avoid going through this terrible ordeal you experienced. My has been going through a similar experience it has been taking more than a year and is still ongoing. She had limited protection.
@@celenajones6352Me too!! For about 8 years now 😮
Which one was it?
What online platform?
I NEVER leave any of my banking/credit/debit card information on file with ANY accounts. This is exactly why I don't do it...I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Also don't store your Social Security number with medical providers. When they submit your claim to your carrier....they have it already.
Oh wow. I’ll be mindful of this moving forward!
@@kathleenepugh9495I trained my husband and son years ago NEVER give any medical provider a SSN because you have an insurance card. Your insurance company has it.
Simple as that..... save no info online
I found out that these companies store your credit/debit cards without your permission. I called to pay my car insurance, and the representative said, "Would you like me to use the card ending in 1111?" I said there should not be a card on file because I said that I don't want them to keep my card on file. Then she said that she would remove it. They are all liers!
Amen Anthony, thank you for sharing and helping us.
Dang Anthony, I am so sorry. Let your lessons be your blessings. You are definitely blessing others sharing your experience.🙏🏼🙏🏼💯
ATT had 70 million customers' information get compromised. This is why I inactivated social media ever now and then, sometimes 30 days once or twice every 3 or 6 months. I also recommend locking your bank cards when not in use.
Thank you!
Yes, I love locking my cards.
Also remove your picture off social media accounts
I lock my cards all the time
How do you lock your card?
I'm praying that God will restore all that the devil that he stole 10 fold. This is nothing but a distraction. God is faithful, and no weapon formed shall prosper!
Wow, bro I sorry they did that to you. Be strong bro.❤
WOW! That was a well thought out and planned cyber heist!!! Thanks for sharing!
That's awful! My phone was hacked also through Facebook, and I was being watched through the camera. It's a mess! I haven't been on Facebook or Instagram for a whole year. I was a victim who was traumatized, but the Most High will vindicate the innocent.
Wow!!!!! God help us! AI is also what's so concerning, so scary. Things are going to get worse. Do we need to keep our cameras blocked/ taped up or something? GOD WILL DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE HARSHLY!
@@trustjesus8389I have for the last 3+ years, lol.... ordered a bunch of "meme stickers " off Amazon and stick a new one on the back every week or so !!!🤣
On the front of the phone (or what we look at when using the phone) I used black electrical tape and covered the entirety of both the top and bottom black bar areas (which is where my selfie camera is)
I keep my phone off. I can do without these phones. Literally @trustjesus8389
How did you call Facebook
How could you tell you were being watched?
When I first saw the title, I thought it was clickbait or something? Man, I’m truly sorry to hear about this.
Sorry for your loss some people are so wicked
Sending love and blessings to you. Thank you for sharing and the tips you dropped to us.
You should talk about this on your next show because this a big issue. And that’s why I’m getting into Cybersecurity so I can stop cyber attacks like this.
Thank you we need more honest people like you. Trying to help people instead of hurting people.
Facts
This definitely has me thinking about getting into cyber security as well. I can’t stand cyber theft and shenanigans that happens in the digital space.
@@AnomalyBelleza do it, alot of reward getting into this space and you will learn alot.
It is disheartening the way cybercrime is increasing everyday. Having cybersecurity awareness is critical. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing bro. I learnt alot
The same thing happened to me with my clothing brand. They only took $1,000. It was returned by the bank, but my Facebook account was hacked, suspended and compromised. I feel your pain bro
This is very scary and would not want this on nobody! Scammers have no soul! The betrayal of it all is devastating. Very sorry to hear this happened.
Deactivated FB and IG
Wait can you explain why?
Unfortunately a lot of us have businesses and have to be on social media.
Same here
You could just not give scammers access to your account... you never share your IP address, passwords, authentication codes, or allow people to "tap in" to your computer. He must have forgot that part...🤷🏾♀️ All of that had to happen for this to occur.
Hey I have worked in Cybersecurity for the last 8 years in the financial district. I am sorry this happened but telling foreigners that they should be moral it is easier to walk on water. When we met with secret service it goes far deeper than you could ever imagine.
I came straight to your video to find out what has happened and how to avoid it, I am hurt this has happened to you Brother. Thank you and bless you for being proactive and making everyone aware of this.
Its evil the love of money makes men do evil things
No weapon formed against you shall prosper! You will remain blessed while they have sown seeds of curses on their lives
These people are crazy! I’m sorry this happened! Thank you for the information! Be at peace brotha!
Really painful but thanks for warning us!
I keep telling people scamming is at a ALL TIME HIGH!!! I’m rarely opening emails social media links because it’s wicked out here bruh I hope things get resolved for you bruh 🙏🏾💪🏾
You are so right. These people are evil
I always look at the email. I get emails from random places that try to look like major companies but click on the email. It’s usually hidden
You bless so many people with the work you're doing on the daily. Praying for you that God will not only restore what was lost swiftly, but also, 10 fold. ❤❤l
Thank you for your humility and being willing to share this. Ignore the fools who think you gotta walk on water they sure don’t judge themselves. I hope those evil doers wake up. If not, would they seat to heap on others fall in their own head
I’m so sorry that happened. That’s horrible. You come back 1,000,000 times better
Hey Anthony, I work as an IT consultant sadly what you describe is a every day occurrence for business owners hope you were able to reset all of your passwords for all your accounts including your employees accounts including any software that they may have installed. I hope you recover soon and sought out experts opinion on the matter. Hackers are able to create backdoors into your infrastructure to gain access again. I hope you were able to remediate the issue, wish you the best and keep up the great content, hackers and scammer are on the rise!!!!!
I'm still trying to understand how they got in there in the first place. I know the Indian scammers like to use anydesk to gain access but they can get into your computer through a simple zoom call now? 🤯🤯🤯🤯
This was insightful to read. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Is there a way to block them from the backdoor?
This just happened to my employer and started with an email that was one letter off for another legitimate business for $400k, but luckily the bank was able to stop the transfer. It’s wicked out there.💀
It looks like my comment was deleted. I'm confused....I genuinely don't understand how they got his info through a zoom call. If you're IT can you please explain? I don't want this to happen to me. I watch a lot of scam-bait videos to try to stay ahead of these jerks....but zoom is a new one for me.
