First up *** new scam hitting hard has banks and the popular cash app Zelle sending out this new warning to customers across the country, it's called the Pay Yourself scam. This is how it works. *** scammer text you *** fraud alert from what looks like your bank. When you text them back they call you, it all seems legit. They'll say in order to stop this fraud, you need to put money into yours l account. When you log into your cell, you get *** one time security code to verify your identity. The scammer will ask for that code as l right and they'll enroll their own bank. Okay? Using your information. So when you think you're sending money to yourself. That money actually goes into the scammers bank account. Zell's early warning services says never share one time passwords with anyone ever. No reason, I don't care if it's your father. Don't give it. And banks and cash apps. Okay? They're never going to ask you to send money to yourself ever. Next expect sticker shock this holiday season when it comes to flight prices.

It falls between 36 72 days before the holiday for christmas prices dip around 3 to 12 weeks before that holiday before your travel date. Finally the new IOS 16 software is out and this trick has got to be my new favorite. Can I grab my phone? My producer kelly is right over here. Okay, There's *** new way to go into your pictures on your phone and remove the background. Okay, here's what we do, check this out. Here's *** picture of me and my kids. All I have to do is tap on the photo and you see that little streak that goes through them. Okay, give it *** good solid tap.
