In this episode of Retire with Ryan, I'm talking about the growing threat of smishing, a type of phishing scam where fraudulent text messages try to trick you into revealing personal information like your social security number, bank account details, or credit card information. I'll explain how these scams are targeting individuals like you and share some important tips on how to protect your phone and investment accounts from being compromised. It's crucial to stay informed and secure, and I'm here to help you navigate these risks.
