Your SIM is Your Life: How AI Prevents Fraudsters From Hijacking Your Number

Your SIM is Your Life: How AI Prevents Fraudsters From Hijacking Your Number

Your phone number is more than just digits it is the gateway to your money, your identity, and your everyday life. Almost every service we use today, from banking apps to social media, relies on SMS. We get one-time passwords (OTPs), transaction alerts, and even account recovery links through simple text messages.

That is why fraudsters target it. Through a tactic called SIM swap fraud, scammers trick mobile providers into transferring your number to a SIM card they control. The moment they succeed, they own your digital life. Every OTP meant for you goes to them. Every bank alert, every login code straight into their hands.

Imagine this: you suddenly lose network signal. You can not send messages or make calls. Within minutes, scammers are using your number to drain your bank account, reset your email password, and even impersonate you online. It is devastating, and it’s happening more often across Africa.

So, how do we fight back?

 This is where AI-driven protection comes in. At ProtecAI, our ScamGuard technology focuses on detecting and flagging scam messages in real time. It does not wait for you to guess which text is suspicious it acts immediately.
