T-Mobile Sues Cell Phone Record Brokers for Criminal Profiteering
I know Verizon and Cingular have already started suing these scammers, but I’m glad T-mobile has jumped on the bandwagon, since I do use their service.
From yahoo news:
BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jan. 23, 2006–In an effort to restrain the unlawful activities of entities that attempt to fraudulently obtain confidential customer information, T-Mobile USA, Inc. is bringing legal action against online data brokers the company believes are involved in illegitimately obtaining and selling call records.
