Scammer Alert!

might i inquire, how much did you lose?

don't they have passwords and such, for money apps?
can't we call the money folks, to inform them of the loss of the phone and block all transactions?

lol not mine, just saw the post on reddit.

If the phone is locked, they just transfer the SIM to another phone and then try to sign in to all the banking apps using the phone number.

Password is not an issue because they just do the lost password procedure which will send the reset links and 2FA codes to the same number.

Agree on blocking transactions, but that's a race between you (currently with no phone) and the thief. And you need to sit through the stupid robocall and try to recall your account details.

Ganyan lang kabilis ilipat lang SIM? Paano yun email add saka username? They can try to change password Pero need email and username Diba? Tapos yun biometrics pa and usually isang phone lang naka registered sa isang bank account so need to register again if using new phone.

Hinde naman siguro ganun ka galing yun nakapulot ng phone niyan sa Twitter.

Many people don't realize nowadays that you can put PIN code on sim cards. Kahit transfer mo pa sim card sa ibang phone hindi pa rin ma activate unless you know the pin.

After reading this I tried to put a sim lock, akala ko ako ang magseset, ayun wrong pin, 1 try left na lang [emoji13]

Even if I find the sim card, hindi ba puk ang nakalagay dun, in case na ma lock out nga ang sim mo?

from what i remotely remember,
many electronic gadgets do have a PIN or PUK or whatever, on the original packaging, that many of us simply throw away...
just last night, we were looking for the box of our 'puter, to look for one such number. without it kasi, my 'puter advisor informs me, some maneuvers simply can't be done.

That's why people avoid using SIM PIN lock ... eventually after a year or 2 or 3 ... one forgets the PIN ... don't think it's that easy to simply insert SIM into another phone and be able to access bank accounts ... they need to know your username first ... and the process of changing password isn't as simple as an OTP ... whoever gave that idea ...

It's more robust than that ... silly to imply that simply inserting SIM to another phone ... one would easily be able to change bank account password ...

Pwde magpunta sa Network provider para magpa-unlock ng ng SIM na na-PIN lock. May mga series of questions to verify na ikaw talaga is ikaw.
