My iPhone has caller ID, but if you're an unidentified caller and leave no message? You are blocked. I've probably blocked someone inadvertently that perhaps in the future would say "I was trying to call you!" oh well. Don't open your front door to everybody is another. Look through the peep-hole, ask if you can help them? If female say something aloud like"Jack hold the dog back, someone's at the door", stuff like that. I actually am anti-gun but have a recording from a rifle range of a 12 gage pump action. Everybody knows that sound from Westerns or otherwise. Should I be able to collect m'self to play it on the other side of the the door I would hope that particular sound would encourage marauders to go away. Got the sound after I had to chase off a group of six from my front door and I was absolutely alone, middle of the night too. Not all financial safety tips here, but stay safe everybody!
On a cell phone, don't ever choose the option to "save login" or "save password" for easy access. It saves this data in files on your cell phone, and hackers can access these files easily and see your app login ids and maybe even saved passwords. I know it's a hassle, but always just sign in with an id and password when using an app or web site. Also, I recommend not installing and using your bank's cell phone app. Instead, just use their website, and when done and logged off, close the tab and close down your browser. Hackers can easily see what apps are loaded on your phone, and right there they could see what bank you use, and maybe even see a cached id.
I noticed when Billy was speaking she was shaking her head no for everything she said. Thanks for all the information. As an elderly person I see the world has been turned upside down. I have very little trust for anything because we are and have been lied to about most things.
My faith , trust hope is in Jesus as we are living in the last days. Watch greg laurie revelation series. Perry stone has much on end times, jack van impe, leading the way. America has fallen away from god churches some in wrong direction. Seek god’s truth pray he will show you if he knows in your heart truth receive Jesus and ask for forgiveness in Jesus name amen god’s Holy Spirit comes in and opens your eyes to truth.
The bank should not be calling you. I do get a recording from the credit card if I start using it a lot which is buying online more than 3 items since I don't do this. Never say yes. Ask if they help people on welfare and they won't call you back
@@BeAHappyCamper2Day I have gotten calls from my bank. Once they were checking to see if it was OK to pay out on a check I had written to my handyman. One never knows. But I do let unknown calls go to voice mail.
Face to face interactions for me when it matters. If they can’t meet face to face then something’s wrong. Check IDs, verify with tax office….no on line banking for me.
What I never hear mentioned, on regular broadcast news reports, about wiring money to escrow companies related to a real estate purchase is the fake e-mail is from an insider at th e broker or escrow office. Who else would have this inside private information..?
They get hacked all the time. Realtors are pretty gullible because they see every contact as a big payday. As a result, they open emails that you and I would not, they open attachments and click links that you and I would ignore. I know this from several brokers who are constantly dealing with hackers due to the agents in their offices repeatedly clicking those links and opening files in emails.
Good information. Thank you! Don’t forget about security keys to log in to sites that allow them. They are a physical key to connect to your computer, phone, tablet that you actually put in your device and touch to login to sites in place of passwords. More and more sites/banks, etc are using them.
I’d love to get a physical security key but I can’t find the answer to my questions. Can the key work with, meaning plug into, both a windows laptop AND an iPad or iPhone? Does it plug into the charging port of the iPhone/ipad? If I could get the answers, I’ll buy one. Thanks.
When a scammer calls you, be polite and ask, hey what's on the "scam menu" today? Then be totally silent waiting patiently for their answer..... You will hear them pause, sheer silence, then a click .... Oops, they hung up😂
I get these annoyance calls when I am extremely busy. I can always tell when they are robo scam calls because there is a delay of five seconds after I answer. Then there is a "blip" when the connection is made and there is always someone with a foreign accent asking for me. I immediately say I am very busy and hang up.
😂..A few days ago got a call from an obvious scammer..played along for about a minute and then challenged her on her scam..she was polite for a while but then got super frustrated and started cussing me out ! it was brutal the stuff she was saying! I didn’t know a woman could say such vile things ! 😂
I got an email saying it was social security trying to protect me from scammers it asked for my social security number and password i almost did but decided not to.
Scammers are going into stores, taking pic of the long #s on those prepaid cards, & then put back on the wrack for u to buy. When you go to load $ onto card - your $ immediately goes to individual scammer. Retailers know this but will not hide cards under counter for you to purchase. It's a hit or miss chance you take.
@@txfortworth761 Too true...🤦♀️💔 I've had my card for a year now & got it from a place that keeps them behind the counter but thinking of switching to a secured credit card. 💰🤔
Scams are on the rise, I recently bought a condo in Florida and my house in Arnold Maryland. On both cases the banks & title company were almost militant and neurotic about making darn sure we did not miss wire the funds explaining that if they're gone, they're gone. I commend the title company and my bank for looking out after me, no issues occurred. The money transfer was good but that's a very scary reality. My bank warned me about a call, an email, a text, or other form of communication saying we need you to adjust your routing.
My info had been hacked at a Medical Insurance Broker Company. Besides your other protective measures, if relevant, you can have your medical insurance company change your member ID so false medical claims cannot be submitted against your account. Nice Video 🙂
The most important thing is to stipulate all important transactions to be in person! And freeze all credit files. Never click on links! As far as I know most crucial changes require in person and added notary etc…assume everyone to be scammers or incompetent and verify and due diligence when it’s important.
yes, you can see the AI is NOT blinking. "Her" eyes are not blinking correctly, and just very sparingly and gently (like a feather) , not naturally, because that is very hard for an AI to generate.
Another AI video test is to ask the person to turn their head so you see their profile. Currently the video will show weird artifacts, and pieces of the face may even jump around. Of course in a few months or a year this will probably be fixed.
By next year, they will have that flaw fixed. They are using AI to write software for other AI to run. Guess where they get the best screening and analysis of their work? TH-cam videos and comments. AI can monitor TH-cam, watch all the videos, and learn from all the comments. They have been doing so on social media for years.
Never answer your door or phone for people you don't know, especially if you're not expecting anyone. Don't click on any links in text messages or emails. Get contact information off of a companies legitimate website, your card, or statement, not Google. Keep your internet security software updated on your computer and your software updated on your phone.
It depends how they’re built. The one I used hasn’t been hacked since they launched 15 years ago, but if they were, here’s what happens: blog.1password.com/what-if-1password-gets-hacked/
Great video and good information. I wonder if in the future none of us will be dealing with others 1 on 1? We all should be using an anti-scammer AI avatar of ourselves. Sorta like our AI vs their AI, battling it out. In reality we'll all be fat lazy people laying around without moving like in WALL-E
Any unsolicited communication to you, means they want something from you. Any large transfer of money, go to the human location. Scams nowadays are largely performed in the digital world.
I also never carry my credit cards with me or in my wallet & use an RFID blocking wallet & Faraday holder for my phone & use a cross body bag & turn any zipper or opening INWARDS against my body. I also carry a small easy to access burner wallet with a few bucks in it as a decoy in my pocket & a lot of times I'll carry a lunch bag instead of a purse. Stay safe everybody.❤💰🇱🇷🌏
Each bureau can be called . Then you have to deal with lots of questions that they use to verify that you are legit. Then they lock down your account. You can have the bureaus unlock for a period of time that you determine - could be a week or a few days or a month, etc. I believe you can do this more easily on their websites, but I prefer to call.

I block all calling numbers except those that are in my address book. Lots less rings to run to answer. If I’m expecting an important call from a number I don’t have I open up my phone until I get the call. Call block also the calls that did not ring.

I always tell my mother never to click a link, and that anything she needs to do with her bank, social security, etc. should be, and always can be, done in person. But she lets other little old ladies who have no idea what they're doing install random programs on her computer anyway, as well as my brother who also doesn't know what he's doing. You can tell people, but that doesn't mean they'll listen.
Don't ever use computers that leave my house for financial transactions. Check all my financial accounts weekly at least. Biggest issue is that when I recently made an insurance claim, what had represented itself to me as a single company ended up being my insurance provider and a company they had recently bought which sounded like one of those legal scammers who want to sell you insurance you don't need.
I was shopping on the phone for insurance on a property. I was given a quote. The next day I called and said I wanted the policy. He took my credit card info (thank goodness not my bank account)l. THEN he told me the insurance was considerably more than the quote. I told him I didn’t want it. He assured me it wouldn’t hit my credit card. But it did. Not only that, but he also charged something else on my card. I tried to file a complaint with the company, but it became clear that they didn’t care. They made it pretty much impossible to get through to them.
2 step verification can be diverted to a cloned phone. Biometrics use your fingerprint . Facial recognition is another good method. Switch airplane mode on in public spaces e.g. high traffic areas like malls, fast food joints , libraries, airports, gas stations, all are prime areas for scanning thieves.
Freeze your credit at all three credit bureaus. Most Companies usually only use one pacific credit bureau to check your credit. You can unfreeze that in their presents and when the credit is checked freeze it again. My husband and I came with in one hair of bei g victims of financial fraud by a home repair company because we needed a new roof with the shakes removed . I got out of a scam contract by contacting American telegraph Co and had the contract canceled before the three day cancelation window. The contract was going to scam us out of 100 grand by running a credit line. They intended to constantly siphon money and abandon the job with the house torn apart, with no customer service, calls answered and they would go no contact.
SIM swapping would not allow you access to 1Password (it requires a master password) but definitely on text-two factor. That’s a good argument for using an authentication app.
This is good, esp the examples of AI. My favorite tip is the safe word and it doesn’t even need to be set up ahead of time, although that’s best. Just take the time to get to know the people you do business with so you can use the knowledge to verify their identity. Also, turn off SImm card swaps on your wireless plan, esp if you have an electronic SIMM card. The biggest issue is the wait times for customer service and the inability to get back to an agent you’ve been working with. Businesses need to step up to make this easier with the fraud out there.
When freezing your credit make sure it is a FREEZE and not a LOCK. A freeze is federally regulated. A LOCK however is a product the credit bureaus push because it makes them money and it's not federally regulated.
Better than a password manager is to not use your computer to access your bank accounts. Use it only for credit card accounts, but never for checking or savings. If you do not absolutely need to do it online, the old school way is safest.
Google has a call screening thing that will answer the number I don't recognize and asks the call to say why they are calling. I can see a transcript as they speak. Also I can still answer while they are speaking if I choose. If I don't answer I receive a transcript when they end the call. This has been helpfull.
For all of the security questions, favorite pet, street you grew up, mothers maiden name, etc. My response had nothing to do with the question. You never know what is in the public domain.
This is really getting scary, like in the movies. Life imitating [the] arts [of the inauthentic!] I notice it is the urgency (or incitement factor). But has anyone also notice youTube videos skip in rapid-fire between the key points being conveyed makes it appear like spliced segments of different videos. That also is the visual clue that stands out in AI generated videos which upcoming improvements will eventually make flawless to undiscerning eyes.
Don't be deceived by the title. He's giving an example or series of examples of the scammers that are out there.Using a I and how they're effectively getting through at the governmental levels period it's just a good idea for everybody to watch this. Those on social security, SSI, disability, and for everyone to learn the tricks.
I received an online ordered package from Home Depot. I have a login account with them & for 1st time it says my email login isn't in the server. Called them to cancel my account, returned the item & check my credit card App charges few times a week
Scammers are calling all the time and they will continue to do so. The best solution is not answering the phone... If someone legitimate he/she will leave a message. Based on the message you can decide if you will call back or not. Do not let anyone fool you with AI or any other scams.
Wow Kevin great video great information I’ve gotten several notifications over the past couple years that my info is all over the place so you have given my more tools to protect my self thank you

Switch airplane mode on in public spaces e.g. high traffic areas like malls, fast food joints , libraries, airports, gas stations, all are prime areas for scanning thieves.
I do that too, plus I put my phone and my wallet into a Faraday pouch whenever I'm in public places.
What scanning are you so worried about.?
Bidenmetrics!
Freeze your credit at all three credit bureaus. Most Companies usually only use one pacific credit bureau to check your credit.
You can unfreeze that
in their presents and when the credit is checked freeze it again. My husband and I came with in one hair of bei g victims of financial fraud by a home repair company because we needed a new roof with the shakes removed .
I got out of a scam contract by contacting American telegraph Co and had the contract canceled before the three day cancelation window.
The contract was going to scam us out of 100 grand by running a credit line. They intended to constantly siphon money and abandon the job with the house torn apart, with no customer service, calls answered and they would go no contact.
If your password manager and two-factor identification are on your phone you are still susceptible to SIM Swapping scams.
SIM swapping would not allow you access to 1Password (it requires a master password) but definitely on text-two factor. That’s a good argument for using an authentication app.
I think we are going to have to meet face to face. 😊
Great information. Thank you!
This is good, esp the examples of AI. My favorite tip is the safe word and it doesn’t even need to be set up ahead of time, although that’s best. Just take the time to get to know the people you do business with so you can use the knowledge to verify their identity. Also, turn off SImm card swaps on your wireless plan, esp if you have an electronic SIMM card. The biggest issue is the wait times for customer service and the inability to get back to an agent you’ve been working with. Businesses need to step up to make this easier with the fraud out there.
Thanks. This is the best anti-fraud advice I've ever heard
Thanks! I appreciate that.
James Bond Mission impossible
This is a great video thank you for putting it out there. I will share it.😊
Thanks!
AI technology is getting much powerful that we all should pay attention to
I don't bank online!! None of my info is on my phone or online. Nothing I ever put there 😂
Very wise.
❤❤ This has been posted on my X news feed.
Thank you for this video. 🎉🎉
Thanks for sharing!
Your very welcome.
We must be diligent with the evil uses of AI and no one has been reporting on this eXcept you know who on X...
Could you please do a video on federal retirement? Just subbed!
Sure! I’ll add it to the list.
@@foundryfinancial Thank you!
Same thing happened me a call from our credit union SCAM
Great information. Thanks!
When freezing your credit make sure it is a FREEZE and not a LOCK. A freeze is federally regulated. A LOCK however is a product the credit bureaus push because it makes them money and it's not federally regulated.
Excellent advice! Shared!
Thanks, Sara! I’ve just seen way too many people get scammed in the past few months - figured I better let people know what’s happening.
Then, how do you know the 'password manager' isn't corrupted, or corrupt?
Better than a password manager is to not use your computer to access your bank accounts. Use it only for credit card accounts, but never for checking or savings. If you do not absolutely need to do it online, the old school way is safest.
Google has a call screening thing that will answer the number I don't recognize and asks the call to say why they are calling. I can see a transcript as they speak. Also I can still answer while they are speaking if I choose. If I don't answer I receive a transcript when they end the call. This has been helpfull.
Lol…if my phone rings and I don’t know the number, I answer it speaking wyandot.
They always hang up.
The question that no one is asking who created this and why is this allowed and I think I know why.
Appreciate the advice. It is very easy to get caught up in the moment.
And they often use urgency.
Never do your $$business on line
The imposter AI images can't fool voice recognition technology no matter how well it mimics a person.
Please warn against romance scammers.
Me I receive most times 60 call up every day, not even answer numbers I don't know
EXCELLENT VIDEO! thanks! I just emailed it to my family members
For all of the security questions, favorite pet, street you grew up, mothers maiden name, etc. My response had nothing to do with the question. You never know what is in the public domain.
Excellent information. Thank you Kevin.
not for this government
With that new A.I. voice language, lip match technology maybe they will fix all those old Godzillia movies.
This is really getting scary, like in the movies. Life imitating [the] arts [of the inauthentic!]
I notice it is the urgency (or incitement factor). But has anyone also notice youTube videos skip in rapid-fire between the key points being conveyed makes it appear like spliced segments of different videos. That also is the visual clue that stands out in AI generated videos which upcoming improvements will eventually make flawless to undiscerning eyes.
We’re putting the table behind the door. We always told our toddler kids when we wanted to get a quickie. 😊
If a number comes up, without my file card name. I do not accept calls nor tge text. I then block and delete both
83% of readers will be glad if I finish this comme….
After reviewing video, also realized that, for us, there is, unfortunately, no new information here. Or is it fortunately? Hm
Ha. Glad you have it covered.
Kudos to your mother-in-law!
I have my spray next to my front door with security door locked, I won’t open it to just anyone.
Shut it all down !
You claim to advocate for social security recipients, but then brag about using the extremely expensive Door Dash?👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Don't be deceived by the title. He's giving an example or series of examples of the scammers that are out there.Using a I and how they're effectively getting through at the governmental levels period it's just a good idea for everybody to watch this. Those on social security,
SSI, disability, and for everyone to learn the tricks.
I received an online ordered package from Home Depot. I have a login account with them & for 1st time it says my email login isn't in the server. Called them to cancel my account, returned the item & check my credit card App charges few times a week

Scammers are calling all the time and they will continue to do so. The best solution is not answering the phone... If someone legitimate he/she will leave a message. Based on the message you can decide if you will call back or not. Do not let anyone fool you with AI or any other scams.
This is like Terminator the Sarah Connor chronicles. They used safe words for everything.
Rest assured most banks won’t call-and that’s why I don’t use debit cards today and I have always monitored my accounts and set alerts.
✨✨‼️THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN GOING ON FOR LONGER THAN YOU KNOW AND ALREADY ADVANCED‼️
It sounds like you need a codeword with your loved ones, And periodically change it.
2 step password mgr is ok BUT they are now stealing your phones card to get data.
There needs to be severe penalties for scammers. Very long prison sentences and loss of their assets.
(06:00) I only use the contact number on a bank card to contact a bank.
Smart.
Well A I IS A COMPUTER SO U HAVE THE INFORMATION ON YOUR PHONE SO THEY KNOW YO STUFF
What I would like to know is how are people learning to pull off these scams? WHO is teaching this?
They learn it online. Or if they went to prison, they learn it in prison.
Wow Kevin great video great information I’ve gotten several notifications over the past couple years that my info is all over the place so you have given my more tools to protect my self thank you
Thanks!
