    Hello, SIM swapping involves someone trying to move your phone number to another provider. The sign that someone is attempting to do this is if you receive a text asking you to confirm you are switching providers and want to move your number. It never hurts to ask if you're unsure. A good practice is to delete suspicious texts from unknown numbers and keep your phone OS and apps up-to-date and install a well-known anti-virus/anti-malware app to help protect your data and device.If you receive a lot of suspicious texts, it may a good practice to reset your phone to factory settings every so often to help weed out any hidden malware.
