In this digital realm there are lots of scammers who will try to pick your digital pockets, so you need to learn to be street smart. Here are some BIG scams to watch out for, which I have either seen personally or have had close friends fall victim to. As a general rule, never give out your private information, passwords or account numbers out to anyone who calls you unannounced - no matter who they claim to be! In this video we’ll give you the best ways to know your enemy and protect yourself: 00:00 - Intro 00:56 - Giveaways 01:54 - Don't trust the "celebrities" 02:34 - Popular email phishing scams 03:11 - DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK 04:32 - Your phone number is PUBLIC 05:27 - SCAM: Appeals to authority 06:00 - The FAMILY TRAGEDY scam 06:42 - How well do you know that person you're chatting to online? 07:11 - Grooming 07:59 - 2FA 08:26 - Vaults 08:44 - Passwords (watch https://youtu.be/wPQrLkHLWJ4 for good password hygiene!)
