Tips on how to secure your money from theft

As we are in the technology era, many good and bad things came with
the technology which online theft is among. When people cry of
their phones being snatched from them without knowing the main
disaster is the sim card (especially when it’s connected to your
bank account).

Now, let me tell you what the robbers do after snatching your phone from you.

1)They remove your SIM card, flash your phone and either sell it at a very cheaper rate or slot their SIM card into it and start using.

2)Some throw away the SIM card they removed from that your phone while the intelligent ones slot the sim in another phone.

easier, they will use that your number to get your BVN by inputting
the universal code of *565*0# at the rate of #20 and make use of
your USSD for transferring.

Though no one prays to lose his/her phone but to be on a safer
side one has to learn the following technique.

HOW TO LOCK YOUR SIM CARD

be password, pattern or pin. Phone lock can easily be flashed if
it’s an android device or your SIM card removed if the iPhone is
proving stubborn.

you slot your SIM card into another phone.

GOOGLE is there to help. Just type in your number on GOOGLE
search box, it will bring out the details you seek. When you enter the number you got from GOOGLE and they said it’s incorrect,
