Your Social Media Profiles & Accounts Are At Risk
Almost Anyone That Has Watched TV Knows About Sim Card Or Phone Cloning
This is where some bad person clones your phone and number to monitor what you do. This is far easier than you might think.
Phone numbers are associated with the SIM inserted in the phone. Since every SIM has a unique number, every phone has a different number. There are two easy ways to clone a phone number and a unique way to intercept and spy on another smartphone and its activities. Cloning is an easy way to spy on somebody also.
The Cloning
If you are able to clone a cell phone number, you can use the same number on multiple devices at once. This is possible by accessing the secret menu on your device by entering retain codes specific to each phone and its model type. The secret menu will basically unlock the phone/SIM.
We are not going to tell you exactly how to do it, but a simple Google search will show you just how many tutorials and guides there are for it.
To clone phone numbers using a SIM Cloning Tool, consider using a SIM card Reader. This device is readily available on the market or on the web. We all know that every SIM has a different International Mobile Subscriber Identity, it is easy to replicate it on the reader and start using it as a new SIM with the same clone number.
Spyera is the most trustworthy (irony intended) smartphone spy tool to monitor an iPhone/Android easily. It can track all activities on other people’s Android/iPhone remotely and you will not even have to root/jailbreak the device to download/use the Spy tool on it if your target device is the Android device. But the iPhone and iPad are required to jailbreak to install Spyera.
You get the point – it is easy to do this. Welcome to the world of the 21st century – nothing is safe!
Why Do This
One of the reasons they might do this is to bypass your MFA/2FV multi-factor authentication that is used to control your social media accounts, email, and even your banking. A clone of your phone gives a criminal easy access and control of everything you have.
Now, Let’s Think About Your Relationship Scam, Shall We?
Your scammer certainly knew your phone number, right? For a small bit of money, they can clone your phone.
They already know your social media accounts, your email accounts, and maybe even your banking or other financial accounts. Right?
So within a few minutes, they could take control of your social media accounts and pretend to be YOU! Even though the scam is over they COULD still steal your money, scam your friends and family, and you would never have even considered it until it was nearly too late. All it takes is the will to do it.
Now That You Know This Is Possible, What Should You Do?
Frankly, you should stand up and take real notice of this. This exact thing just happened to one of our SCARS Officers. The point is it can happen to you too!
Begin by realizing you are still on the mind of your scammers. They let you get away without taking everything you have. They will want more, and this is a way to get it. Or they could sell your information to other criminals that are more specialized in doing these kinds of cybercrime.
- Change Your Phone Number if you have been scammed. The best way is to get another phone with a new number and use that for all of your accounts – you can keep the old phone and number in case long-lost relatives need to contact you. You can put the old number on a life-support account for a few dollars a month. But having a clean number for the security of your accounts is important.
- Always Pay Attention to your text messages. Anything out of the ordinary (other than spam and phishing messages) means someone may be trying to access your account. Go right away and change your account password.
- Make sure all of your accounts use multi-factor authentication so you at least know if an attempt is being made to access them.
- Be much more selective about where your number appears and who you give it to – your phone is now your life!
If you feel that someone is trying to take over an account, notify the provider too!
As a victim YOU HAVE to be more careful. Bad guys know about you and will come back. What happens when they do is up to you!.
