Either way T-Mobile failed and should pay dearly for it.

T-Mobile always makes me verify when I call and there’s no getting out of it so I honestly question if this was an inside job. In the old days verifying your number was a foolproof way against hackers but not anymore with sim swapping. They can then go on various sites and say they forgot the password and if your phone number is linked to that account they get the account unlocked by verifying the phone number and then changed the password on the crypto app or website and transferred the currency to their own wallet. They call in and swap the number to a new sim card either esim or an actual sim card. Back in February, a Californian man also alleged that he was a victim of SIM swapping fraud and lost over $450,000 in cryptocurrency investments. However, this isn’t the first suit that T-Mobile is facing. T-Mobile has not yet responded to this complaint. When Kesler filed her complaint, the $20,000 cryptocurrency she had in her account was worth over $65,000. After an hour, she received an email notifying her that her Coinbase password had been changed. In her complaint, Kesler alleged that her phone stopped working on around 8:00 pm. In the case of Kesler, thieves were able to deplete her Coinbase account, which had around $20,000 stored in it.

Once the account has been taken over, scammers can receive text messages and even access the victim’s accounts that have been linked to his mobile number. Kesler complained that scammers were able to convince T-Mobile to give them control of the account. According to the complaint, Kesler was the victim of a SIM swapping scheme that took place in May 2020. And according to the complainant, T-Mobile was unable to protect her account.Įarlier this week, Sima Kesler filed a complaint in the Pennsylvania Eastern District Court. This time, the complaint comes from a Pennsylvania woman who lost $20,000 in cryptocurrency due to a mobile fraud scheme. T-Mobile is facing another SIM swapping complaint.
