Hours of police video found on body cams sold on eBay

If you're selling a used smartphone, always delete your data before getting rid of it. Otherwise, private information may end up in the buyer's hands. This wisdom should be common knowledge, but one group of police recently made the disastrous mistake of leaving non-public files on a device sold on eBay.

Kim answers your questions

You asked and Kim answered! Got a question for Kim? Email her here.

My back is killing me

Q: I have a memory foam mattress that is sinking and sagging. I heard you talk about Purple on your radio show. Is it the same as all those other online mattress brands?

A: Purple really is different. The secret is the Purple Grid. It’s a patented technology that adapts to your body’s natural shape and sleep style, so you get soft comfort and the firm support your back needs. It won't sink or lose shape, either, so it's a great investment. I sleep like a baby on mine!

Don't just take my word for it. Every Purple mattress comes with free shipping, free returns and a risk-free 100-night trial.

For a limited time, get $150 off any order of $1,500 or more. Go to Purple.com/Kim and use promo code KIM.


Am I at risk?

Q: I keep reading about new identity fraud scams. How do I know if I'm at risk? Can you help me choose the best protection service?

A: The bad news is everyone is at risk. The good news is you can do a lot to protect yourself, starting with a reliable identity theft protection service. My pick is Identity Guard. Over the past 20-plus years, they've partnered with some of the biggest names in the financial industry to protect more than 47 million customers and resolve 140,000 cases of identity fraud.

They alert you to high-risk transactions your bank may not flag, including personal info found on the Dark Web, requests to open accounts in your name and so much more. 

Get complete protection, with plans starting at less than $7 a month. Get 33% off at IdentityGuard.com/Kim.


My PC is worn out

Q: I've been using my old PC to work from home, and it can barely handle video meetings. I need to upgrade, but I'm not sure where to start.

A: When it came time to choose workstations at Komando HQ, we went with my sponsor, Dell. They make reliable, powerful machines at great prices. They're having a sale right now, too, so this is the perfect time to shop.
