  SIM swaps and port-out scams are a fact of life. New rules aren't likely to change that.

  @patrickcmiller I don’t get why they don’t explicitly mandate having a second call centre worker simultaneously call the customer on the phone the caller claims to have lost or replaced. While that’s not entirely foolproof, as sometimes the call will go unanswered, any answered call while the scammer is on the line disproves the scammer’s claim. Rules and guidelines are often useful, but sometimes it’s necessary to spell things out.
