What if I told you that even with two-factor authentication turned on, hackers could still drain your bank account?
That’s exactly what happened to a Maryland woman who lost $17,000 in a matter of hours—all because of a SIM card swap scam. In this episode, we’re breaking down how these scams work, why they’re on the rise, and what you can do to protect yourself before it’s too late.
Here’s what we’ll cover:

• How fraudsters trick phone carriers into transferring your number to their SIM

• Why two-factor authentication via text isn’t as safe as you think

• The devastating financial and emotional impact on victims

• Practical steps you can take—like porting PINs and authenticator apps—to secure your accounts

• What big companies like Verizon and Bank of America are doing (and not doing) about it

This isn’t just a cybersecurity issue—it’s a wake-up call. If scammers can bypass our most common protections, what’s next?
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
