Stolen mobile phones.

Today the news told about all the stolen mobile
phones that you can buy cheaply on the web.


This is how the criminals do it:

1) someone called a "goalkeeper" buys a lot of phones
in a store for 1 Swedish crown (1 Skr) only. This can be
done if the buyer signs up for a certain operator for a
certain amount of time, which the goalkeeper does with
all these phones.

2) The goalkeeper gives the phones to the other criminals
who sell them for a few thousand Skr. The goalkeeper is
payed for his part of the "job", and he never pays the
operator anything.

3) The operator reports the goalkeeper to the police, who
then arrests the goalkeeper. Since the goalkeeper always
is a person with no income, often not a lot happens. He
usually gets away cheaply, and he never tells anyone who
got the phones.


Loser? The operators and society!

Winner? The criminals!

Guilty? ANYONE WHO HANDLES ANY STOLEN GOODS!!!

This means: do NOT buy stuff if you donīt have proof that itīs LEGAL!!

Sofus, we all have lots to learn from each other. All you have to remember is that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason.

Re: Stolen mobile phones.

People used to think: Is this good, and is this legal?

Now people think: How can I use this and is it cheap..

Re: Stolen mobile phones.

Hey, anyone know of a good Mobile Phone Forum? I might find a great price on a new instrument!
