In sim swapping scam, a scammer manages to get access to your SIM card and trick the network provider into linking your number to the SIM card they have in possession.

A Delhi advocate has claimed that she lost Rs 50 lakh to a “sim swapping scam". As per an Indian Express report, the woman received three missed calls from an unknown number. After she called back from a different number, the person said that it was a courier call. The woman then shared her house address, the report added.

Add few small caps alphabets too to make one. pic.twitter.com/CATY4gSEPk
