Listen Later

This episode dives into how we can keep our texts and calls safe from scammers. Sean Falconer chats with Dave Erickson, the co-founder of Phound, which is redefining the way people connect and communicate. Dave shares why texts can easily get targeted by scams, how fraudsters hide their identity, and the tricks they use to trick people.

Learn about the simple steps you can take to protect yourself from these scams. Dave also talks about how Phound is working to make our phone numbers safer by creating a self-managed contact card. Users of Phound only receive phone calls and SMS from approved contacts and they’re in control over how long someone can contact them.

If you're worried about phone scams or interested in how technology is fighting back, this episode and the work Phound is doing should help.
