Ways on how to be financially protected and secured.

[Berryfolia]

With the possibility of the federal consumer financial protection bureau being diminished or eliminated,I offer the following for your consideration;

Protect yourself and all your assets from scams.As AI takes hold,the number of scams that will come over the phone,in email,in real mail,in internet searches,in text messages,in link on web pages between news stories is beginning to multiply exponentially.
So if you have not already frozen your credit,please do it,it’s not difficult to do and turn off temporarily and refreeze.Thereafter,run your free annual credit report and check it for bad or suspicious information.

Make sure all,and i mean all access to any of your financial accounts including banking,credit card, investment and retirement is protected using 2 factor or multi factor authentication and pass keys are supposed to be state of the art.
Stop answering calls from unknown callers,let them go to voice mail and i think that alone will allow you to screen out scams.

And be extremely wary of AI generated search results,they cannot yet be trusted without verification.
Keep all your electronic devices up-to-date making sure all operating systems,security updates and applications are checking and updated frequently.

In conclusion;
Remember,there are perhaps millions of human and maybe billions of electronic bots out there that are trying to steal from what you have worked-out your life to build,so is time to put in some effort to protect yourself and your assets against any potential attack.

The most common I experience are calls for bank asking me for personal information, saying its safe, my response always is i don't give information via call, and let them look for information on what they have, but even though they give info about me I don't confirm any, instead i ask them to email their concern, and they never bother me again, also received a call asking me if I'm interested in investing and that i have the account which i do not, asking me also information, but i just reply I'm not interested and block the number.

Those calls are never from banks but from scammers disguising themselves as bank agents trying to get someone rid of their hard earned money. Bank officials will never call you to request for personal information via phone calls. They have made this clear to their customers that sensitive information should not be shared with any of their staffs via phone call or text messages but people still find it hard to abide by this warning and end up being scammed after sharing their information.

To be on the safer side, never entertain long conversation with strangers via phone calls. The longer you stay on calls with them, the more you're likely to be convinced.

Whether they are from banks or scammers ill never give information via phone, even from mobile company asking for information for upgrade, even if they are legit i will never give up info over the phone, unless I'm the one who call them via their official telephone line, what i always do is go to the bank if i have trouble, or if my postpaid have issues, and that can't be resolve via phone, you can't trust this people that are calling via phone, who knows if its been hack or something.

Being financially independent has to be something that must come form our mindset, before we can act on it, until we see that there is no more need of having a centralized financial management system and everyone of us needs privacy and personally secure their asset, of which was the basis in which bitcoin was established upon, whereby you can buy or invest without going through a third party or any centralized policy,.

Then you can also exchange this digital currency with out users for fiat and any other coins as we may wanted using p2p in a decentralized form, to talk more broader about holding bitcoin, we can use a secured wallet that can help maintain our privacy and we get what we want.

It is not wise to give someone you know your information to, especially those that call from a mobile phone; they are true scammers. If not, how will a person approach someone he does not know and warn him or her that his or her bank is experiencing problems by requesting their information?

And, because some people are unfamiliar with the bank system, they will be hesitant to provide them with their information. That is how some people are easily scammed; instead of going to their banks and complaining to customer service, they wait until after they have been deceived by scammers, and they will later regret it.

The leverage on AI models to scam victims will be the worst experience the crypto ecosystem will experience for a long while. The tactics will be extremely calculated and presented in a way difficult to track. This is the era where sensitive information shouldn't be stored on the internet, or even locally on devices. The world is evolving with so much speed and many fortunes will be lost to scams and theft, before the tactics of the coming scam propaganda will be understood so much damages would have taken place already.

As a user we need a total protection from potential breach, hack or any malicious stuff on crypto. There are thousands of users got compromised daily due to very simple mistake and most of them are from greedy ways. Like click an airdrop site saying you will claim money or more but you need to login or input your PK, Id really dont know why still some got lured with this kind.

Snipe

Snipe

A very flawed way to quote don’t you think?
Being the first responder and quoting the entire OP just to say a few words which I find valid though. It would have been best to quote aspects of the OP you want to respond to or snipe.


Banks will never call you for your privacy or security details. This they would tell you everyday at the bank, through adverts and the various flyers they share around. Immediately you are asked to provide any of these details outside bank premises, then you should be well aware you are unto a big scam.

[tabas]

Stop answering calls from unknown callers,let them go to voice mail and i think that alone will allow you to screen out scams.

With apps that can copy someone's voice, it's true that you can check if they are scams but if the voice mail is kind of pressuring and you're the type of being paranoid, you might still fall for it. So, don't trust wholly is the main thing to avoid getting scammed.

For Bitcoin holders, use a hardware wallet.
For wallet apps, always use 2FA.
And much more important is to be yourself being informed with all of these scams, being knowledgeable and always verifying all sorts of financial transactions will keep you away from harm.

Freezing your credit is top tip it is easy and stops new accounts from opening in your name and you should check your credit reports regularly. Using MFA is also vital because passwords alone are not enough anymore and MFA makes it much harder for people to get into your accounts. Simple but effective trick which you mentioned is to let unknown calls go to voicemail to avoid scammers. And that is really important to be careful about AI search results and always keep your devices updated as staying alert and practicing good digital habits are good in world where information and your privacy can be at risk. Clearly even if official protections change it is more important than ever for individuals to take charge and protect what they have worked hard to build.

Be satisfied with what you have will make you financially protected in your cryptocurrency investment.  It will be difficult for scammers to deceive you to follow short cut that will make your funds not to be secur,  always ensure your seeds phrase and your bank document are safe in your hand because once those things link out to scammers, your coins in your wallets and your funds in the bank are no longer safe until you make the seeds phrase and bank document secure, but if you have the knowledge on how to protect your coins and personal details, you will be comfortable with your assets for long term reward because you have created a solid security around your investment.

A thief will always try to exploit the weaknesses of his targets. They always come up with new ways to trick their targets. An experienced person will be better at anticipating and they tend to ignore the suspicious even if it is attractive. But for new people, it must be difficult to distinguish this condition. But I am sure they will understand it more and more.

Another problem is that our identities are always easy to get. You have to understand how the government system gets our data as an archive. Data processing tends to be easier to steal and even to sell. Sometimes it is a big problem that the government tends to neglect its responsibility towards the important data of its citizens.

Bank officials will never call you to request for personal information via phone calls. They have made this clear to their customers that sensitive information should not be shared with any of their staffs via phone call or text messages but people still find it hard to abide by this warning and end up being scammed after sharing their information.

unfortunately, banks also calls customers sometimes to make request of sensitive information from them especially when the customer just opens an account with them. I have received calls both from a legit bank and some sources that are not legit and it is really difficult to tell which is which if you are not careful enough. the only way out is to make it clear that no personal information of yours is getting out through such sources except you are going to the banks to provide such information on your own.

Bank staff are no longer to be trusted any more because they are part of those that even make those calls and some already have your banking details which they most times either sell out or make use of it for their selfish interest. with data safety being a major issue the cyber space is facing and together with hacks cloned apps becoming more rampant, it is only best that we choose a safety measure that works well for us and ensure we keep our security really simple but yet intact.

Keep life private. The interpretation is that not everything should be shared.
No one is completely trustworthy. Let alone things, people around us can ruin our lives. So, take it easy and live a normal life.
And the best way to protect yourself in my opinion is silence.

Hungry, eat.
Do whatever you want without telling others.
Your success is enough for you to feel.

The rate of AI cloning is quite alarming. Scammers can easily clone or present videos or apps that are similar to the original.

Always pay attention to details because it helps to identify some differences between the fake and the original.

Don't also be enticed by mouthwatering offers on the internet. Scammers usually offer some benefits that are too good to be true.

Ensure you verify the source and authenticity of the information before applying it.

On no account should you give out sensitive information to anyone on the internet regardless of how trustworthy they present themselves.

The tactics will be extremely calculated, but also surprisingly innovative. We can protect ourselves from the dangers we know, by following some advices like the OP's; but how we protect ourselves from the unknown? It seems that the only way is to stay vigilant and update not only our devices, but our knowledge on the new risks that will arise for sure.

This one is common in my country i have been called like that severally claiming to be bank official and they have scam several bank customers through such format due to this bank has been sending information across all customers warning them not to send any of there bank details to anybody calling and asking for such information that they never call any of their customer asking for their transaction details inform of trying to rectify some issue or making some banking system upgrade. People who newly open account mostly fall victims of such circumstances.

I highlighted the above in your post which shows panic in your tone and i am sure the worst time to make a wise investment decision is in one of these emotional state of panic.
It is wise on the follow up paragraphs as regards ensuring optimum security for all asset that one owns including financial asset both in the commercial banks and fintech and even in cryptocurrencies.
That would be for me a backup upon a backup security with a personal recovery access to all accounts while filtering out false intel and fake investment and untrue news so as not to allow greed get a hold of all one has labored for.

Everyone who has a lot of activities online should have a good awareness to protect everything we have. Including finances and personal data.
We know and certainly have encountered quite a lot of attempts by scammers to deceive and hack accounts and assets that we have. That way we cannot ignore how we can protect the assets we store. Always limit suspicious activity. Never be tempted to attractive offers from accounts that we don't even know.
