Creator's Key Takeaways

A UK couple revealed how they fell victim to a SIM card related fraud while on a PNO cruise last year.

Some scammer got a hold of a new SIM cards with our numbers, which obviously meant we lost ours and they had total control of our phone numbers.

Obviously, that sucks. Okay, everybody knows how much I hate scammers to start with.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Before you go, put a slip of paper with your bank phone number and email address or website, handwritten.

✓Have the phone number and website for your phone provider written down.

✓If your phone is compromised on a cruise, use guest services phone to contact your bank and phone company immediately.

✓Keep written backup information in a different spot than your credit cards or phone.
