Telephone slamming

Okay kiddo, let's learn about something called telephone slamming. Do you know what happens when you get a telephone bill at your home? The company that provides your phone service sends you a bill for the calls you made in that month.

Now, let's imagine someone else, like a bad guy, wants to change your phone service provider without your permission. This is called slamming. It's like someone sneaks into your house and changes your toys or room without telling you.

The bad guy can do this by tricking you into saying "yes" to a different phone company when you answer a phone call. They might pretend to be from your usual phone company and then ask questions quickly so that you don't have time to understand what's happening. This is called slamming because they change your phone service suddenly and without your permission.

Sometimes, the bad guy might also offer a promotion or a deal to entice you to switch phone providers. But, always remember to ask your parents before making any changes to your phone bill. It's important to keep your phone number and service safe and secure.
