---------- > From: Zen Reinhardt < > My question to the world is this. Do the cell- service providers monitor > account activity the way credit card companies do? My cell phone provider 360 Communications has implemented a security feature so that I have to register an PIN when I go to a city where cloning has been prevalent. Unfortunately, that came about AFTER I'd been cloned while on a vacation trip to Las Vegas. I only used the phone once on the entire 3 week trip but they got me. My next bill showed over $100 in calls in Southern California. I immediately called the provider. They changed my number and removed all of those calls from my bill. Add to the evidence some calls originating from the > metro Detroit area within the same hour as a roaming call originating from > Massachusetts. My trip to Detroit after my cloning experience was when I encountered the security set up from my provider. It took a few minutes to verify my identity and establish my PIN but everything has gone smoothly in Detroit since then.
