that could be taken against a smartphone user, the SIM swap. One such text said,"I got your number from the T-Mo employee directory. I'm looking to pay someone $300 per each sim swap done, if you're interested, reply and we can talk."
The reason why these texts are so ominous is because it usually takes an insider working for a wireless firm to set up a SIM swap. A bribed employee working for a wireless provider can issue a new SIM card and deliver it to the bad actor.
Another method involves the use of a paid-off wireless employee who changes the account address of a subscriber to an address that he has been given by the criminal. Using that address, a new SIM card is shipped out and once that delivery has been set up, the bribed employee returns the address to the original one.
With T-Mobile employees complaining about pay, subscribers need to worry about being a SIM swap victimsays that it will continue to investigate the text messages, the carrier feels compelled to point out that other wireless providers have reported similar messages. It's one thing to call the competition"Dumb and Dumber" becausesimply wants to point out that current and former employees of other carriers might have also been enticed to take part in a crime.
