I know passwords are nothing but a pain in the backside, but as this graphic shows, they are important to make your passwords longer and harder to crack! And NEVER use your passwords on more than one website/app!

these kinds of comments are making their rounds yet again, do NOT fall for this crap! There are several indications that this is nothing but an attempt to steal your information.

1. The persons name doesn’t necessarily match the profile picture. For proof, click the persons name, click on their profile pic, it’s always going to be a woman, probably “pretty”, now swipe, the next picture will NOT be the same woman, nor a woman at all!

2. The link they post, it’s always young to say something about cash in it.

3. It’s the golden rule, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”

Tip of the day: if you receive a text like this, do NOT CLICK THE LINK. Open the text and then delete it, do not reply to it either! The same goes for the texts that state you have a package waiting for you. They are NOT legit, they are trying to steal your information!

Number 6!!!! Especially if you don’t have a hot spare 🤷🏻‍♂️

P.S. yes, I’m aware it says Kid, it’s part of the joke

Just saw on the local news, heard it beforehand but if it’s big enough for the news to air it I want to warn my followers.

If someone calls you and says that they owe you money due to a company closing, tell them you never paid them any money and hang up the phone. They are persistent! They get you to give them remote access to your computer so they can open a browser and direct you to a page. At that page they tell you to type in however much you are owed, say $300. So you type in 300, and before the prompt disappears there is an extra zero added, then they tell you that you just agreed to pay them $3,000.

Don’t think you can outsmart them, just hang up and block the number they are calling from.
