Creator's Key Takeaways

A friend of mine just lost a bunch of money that they're fighting to get back now because they basically answered a text message.

If you get any messages out there pretending to be your daughter who broke their phone, pretending to be a friend saying, 'Hey, we haven't talked in a while.'

✓Use a VPN when traveling to protect against scams.

✓Do not click on links in text messages from unknown numbers.

✓Verify any message about bank accounts or packages directly with your bank or carrier.
