Good advice
-
Couldn't agree more on everything you just said.

Sorry you went through this aswell. A few of us have unfortunately been Sim Swap lately. Please do not use 2FA sms. Some of us learned the hard way.

As far as I know e-sim is not supported by sim, so they would need an actual Fizz sim card? Is it safe to assume that if that's the case, it's most likely someone locally? Or…

Thanks for the advice, I changed 2FA everywhere I could think of. I knew it wasn't safe but didn't think it could happen so easily.

Will do, thank you very much for your input.

I already have my account back, thankfully I was not sleeping and realised soon enough what was happening. I always use unique generated passwords and obviously don't click on anything I shouldnt be. It shouldnt be that easy to simswap an user. There's no way the hacker got access to my credit card used on file as it's a…
