Modern security training tends to focus on what signs we all need to keep an eye out for—and for good reason—but it does little to explore why modern scams are as effective as they are.

Let’s fix that by taking a moment to examine the tricks the scammers play so you can be that much more prepared to stop them by understanding how they work.

The problem is, the price of these new phones are going up and up and we aren’t really seeing all that much new value out of them.

BySeamrog Tech July 14, 2025July 18, 2025
