Have you gotten a text about an undelivered Amazon package? How about one from UPS? Smartphones are increasingly becoming targets for scams due to their widespread use and the sensitive information they contain. Be cautious of phishing texts (smishing), fake apps, and suspicious links sent via SMS or messaging apps. Never click on unknown links, and always verify the sender. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and keep your device updated to stay protected. By following these steps, you can help safeguard your smartphone against potential scams and keep your personal information secure. Stay vigilant!
