T-Mobile selling your # to hackers?
Had my cell number stolen by a dealer somewhere and put on a new sim and sold to hackers the other day. Anyone else having this happen? Not sure what the damage is as I am still picking up the pieces...

Doesn’t make me feel any better about it. Some third-party-owned TMO stores can access my records without any authorization and give someone a Sim with my number on it.
How does T-Mobile allow third parties do this? I mean, they have to know who transferred my number. If I file a police report who do I say did what?
