Cingular Wireless Wins Injunction Against Online Data Brokers
Cingular Wireless won an injunction Wednesday against an online merchant it says has been using con games to obtain consumer phone records, potentially exposing sensitive relationships and business contacts. Wireless carriers say that these scammers impersonate customers, cellular company employees or even law enforcement to persuade customer service representatives to relinquish the logs, which are then sent via e-mail, phone or fax.
