Cellular fraud (cell fraud) is defined as the unauthorized use, tampering, or manipulation of a cellular phone or service. At one time, cloning of cellular phones accounted for a large portion of cell fraud. As a result, the Wireless Telephone Protection Act of 1998 expanded prior law to criminalize the use, possession, manufacture or sale of cloning hardware or software. Currently, the primary type of cell fraud is subscriber fraud. The cellular industry estimates that carriers lose more than $150 million per year due to subscriber fraud.

I just got scammed today fro 891.00. After calling several times I realized this was a scam. Every time I called a different person answered the phone. I spoke to a Sara Walters, Elizabeth Jefferys, Adrien (he did't have a last name) and finally A Jim Jones. I asked him how dose he get away with what he is doing and he told me I was the stupid one for sending my money Western Union. So he addmited scamming me. He even went on to disguse his voice to act as if he was White and then Jamacan. He told me he was so good that he could act like he was from any race. Meaning he is one person imatating several. Then I spoke back to Sara (I guess she didn't know about the conversation I had just had) and she told me that my account had a "RED FLAG"  and she couldn't send me money unless I sent her another 585.00.  Can you believe she had the nerve to ask for more money.  I ended up calling the Canada police, they gave me a numver to a dept. called phone busters so I could give a report. I also found out that it is illegal for a Canaden company to ask for any money down before sending the loan. Unfortunally I found this information out too late!!!

It is possible. There are a lot of sites that do this.\n\nTest messaing over cellphones are called SMS - short Messaging Service.\n\nLot of websites allow you to do this - for FREE or for a price. Try "SMS from computer" or similar search or yahoo, google, etc.\n\nAs far as I remember www.sms.ac was one of the famous sites.\n\nIn the US, t-mobile also offers free text messaing to their customers from their website. \n\nAnd BTW, if you use Yahoo! Messenger and your contacts have added their cell phone number added. U can txt message them right from Yahoo! messenger.

OMG DO NOT! answer to this number!!!!! I've gotten alot of numbers from area codes 305 and 373 these are scams! do not answer phone calls from numbers beginning 305 or 373. I've researched this and found out these people will have your credit card number! They will offer a free gass card or gift cards to various places. When you turn them down they'll offer you a free magazine subscription. They will repeat the last 4 digits of your credit card number and if u say i gotta go or just hang up they know its urs and its valid. If u do happen to answer one of these call ur credit card company immediatly and cancel it! they will charge you monthly about 50$ please dont answer these calls they will scam you! Tell everyone you know to block them block them in ur privacy section of ur cell phone

There is a nice little tool at www.scamomatic.com\n\nYou copy the text of the scam,paste it in the box,put in the address of the sender,and it will show you how you can prove it is a scam.\n\nThe information in the scam letter will be separated from the text and email addresses (not yours) and phone numbers will be put on a spam blacklist.\nAnyone that searches for the name of the scammer will be directed to a list of known scammer names.\n\nYOU as an individual cannot do a lot to stop these scams.\nBut as a society....we can do a lot!

The only people, as far as I am aware, that can have your number if you withold it is, as you say, when you ring 999.  The Police can also apply to find out who you are and where you live from your telephone number, even if you've not dialled 999, in life or death emergencies, and for instances of serious crime.  Be aware, if you're texting from a phone in the UK, even if you withold your number on telephone calls, it won't withold your number on the texts.  Otherwise, the chat line shouldn't have your number.  It's worth contacting their customer service department and asking them how they got it.
