In today’s digitally connected world, our phone numbers have become more than just a means of communication. They’re often linked to important accounts like banking, social media, and more. This makes them a prime target for fraudsters who use a variety of tactics to hijack your number. One dangerous scam is called an “unauthorized transfer out” or “port-out scam” where criminals fraudulently transfer your number to another carrier.
The consequences of falling victim to this can be serious. It can mean losing access to your phone service, having your accounts hacked, and even identity theft. That’s why it’s crucial to secure your wireless account.
Keeping reading this blog to learn more practical tips and advice to safeguard your phone number and your digital identity.
What causes Transfer Out?
- Benefit is limited to one per household. Meaning that it cannot be used for both home internet and phone service, or multiple people cannot all sign up for the same benefit at the same address.
- Registering or applying with multiple providers simultaneously may result in your benefits being transferred from one provider to another. It is advisable to register with one provider at a time and wait for a response before attempting to apply with a different provider.
- If you receive a notice from AirTalk stating your benefit was transferred out and you did not authorize this:
- Sign the transfer agreement right away to avoid interruption to service.
- Contact the ACP support center and report that your benefit was moved to an unknown provider without your consent.
