Stolen Phone and Privacy
I reported my iPhone stolen on 1/13/10 to AT&T 800 number and on 1/14/10 to the Daytona Beach store. After calling AT&T to report the phone missing I was told it would cost me $700.00 to replace my phone.
Over Easter weekend I found out that my ex-husband had his iPhone stolen. I asked him where he got the phone and was informed it was the one he took from me. He told me that in February he took the my phone and had service put on the phone under his own account. He just walked in off of the street and AT&T never asked for a sales receipt nor did they even look to see if the phone was reported as stolen. After finding out what happened to my phone I contacted AT&T and was told it is not their responsiblity to see if a phone is stole or not. So they are only concerned about getting the new customer and making their current customer pay $700.00 for another phone. According to the police and AT&T $700.00 is a felony charge neither the police nor AT&T would help me retrieve my phone. I also found out that AT&T local store in Daytona Beach, accessed my account and printed my ex-husband off a copy of my receipt so he would have one. It had my name on it and my account had a passcode on it and the Daytona Beach AT&T did not even verify that code, AT&T does not care about security on any ones account. |
