Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
tech. Scammers are targeting Americans in a clever
new debit card scheme. While many believe credit
cards are the most targeted payment method, It
is actually debit cards that fraudsters pursue
the most. A recent Federal Reserve survey indicates
a rise in such cases. One bizarre scheme involves
victims being told to destroy their debit cards
while leaving the chip intact. Skimmers then
collect these cards using social engineering
to obtain PIN numbers and access bank accounts.
Consumers are at greater risk of loss with debit
cards as funds are withdrawn immediately upon
unauthorized access. To protect yourself, monitor
your accounts regularly and avoid sharing sensitive
information. Entertainment news. Some people

arguably the most powerful creator in television
and streaming today, generating a reported $2
.9 billion in revenue from Yellowstone alone.
It is a puzzling decision, especially for Paramount's
new owner, David Ellison, who knows the value
of a single megastar. Well, all righty, folks.
