Identity theft feared in Cingular store break-in

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF

EVERETT -- More than 600 customers may have had such personal information
as names, Social Security or credit card numbers stolen during a break-in
last week at a Cingular Wireless store at 210 S.W. Everett Mall Way.

The affected customers received letters this week alerting them to the
possibility of identity or bank theft. They include customers who signed
cellular phone contracts and bought products at the store.

The thieves who broke in March 26 stole computers and business records from
a locked storeroom that contained the information, according to John Hofer,
district manager for GoWireless, Cingular's authorized agent.

"We felt it was necessary as a corporation to let our customers know that
this information could have been jeopardized," he said.

None of the customers who have contacted the company so far has been a
victim of fraud, he said.

Letters? They didn't have the DECENCY to hire some Kelly girls and make
phone calls? Such negligence is ACTIONABLE if any suffers adverse
consequences as a result of the multi day delay in letting folks know.

Yes, letters, as required by law.  Phone calls- not required by law, and
generally not accepted as a trackable form of communication.  No negligence-
not actionable.

They were not negligent. Somebody broke in and stole the records. It isn't like
they were dumped outdoors in the trash bin or something.

Who cares if you think Cingular was negligent?  Are you a Cingular
customer?  Why does it make a difference to you what they do and how
they handle their business?

OK, Better yet. make a phone call, and follow up with a letter.

Again Cingular was negligent.

why do you say that?

After Berkley and Jenkins' data base was compromised, they didn't
contact any of their customers to advise them.  My credit card issuer
closed the credit card and opened a new one.  They sent me a letter
notifying me that they did this AFTER they had closed the account and
BEFORE they issued me a new card with the new account number on it!

BJ's never mentioned anything about the problem they had either in a
communication to me or a notice posted in their retail locations!

It really wasn't a Cingular Wireless store, it wasn an authorized agent.

Cellphone customers warned of ID theft

Herald staff

EVERETT -- Cingular Wireless is warning up to 650 local customers that their
account information -- including some credit card numbers -- was stolen from
a Go Wireless store in Everett last week, police said.

The personal information was kept on two computers at the store, 210 SW
Everett Mall Way Suite B. Burglars broke in about 3:30 a.m. March 26 and
stole 28 cellphones, caused extensive damage and took the computers, said
Everett Sgt. Boyd Bryant.

"The records in the computers are protected by passwords, so it may be
tougher to access them," Bryant said. "The company hopes that the suspects
are not able to get the information from the computers."

Cingular sent out letters alerting customers, but "we don't have any
documented cases where someone's identity was taken (from the computers) and
used to defraud them of money," Boyd said.

No arrests have been made, he said.

Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to call the Everett
Police Department Tip Line at 425-257-8450.

For more information about identity theft, visit the Everett Police
Department's Web site at www.everettwa.org/police and click on prevention
brochures.

Hmmm- guess Cingular didn't need the Kelly girls after all, did they Robert?

And I guess if customers did get letters from Cingular, they went WAY above
and beyond for their customers- after all, it wasn't even their store.
Wouldn't you agree, Robert?

If you have any problems with this, Robert, have a chat with your son, the
lawyer- he'll explain the total lack of liability on Cingular's part.

Even better, and a fact that you left out until now.  Sort of a 'guilt by
omission' scenario.  With all that said, can you explain your rantings about
Cingular liability when:

-they didn't own the store.
-they don't employ any of the people responsible for securing the store.
-they had no connection to the break-in, other than some of their
subscribers were affected.

Would they be liable if the bank they do business with had the same type of
break-in?

So, genius- I'll be interested to hear Cingular's liability, now that all of
the facts are out.

And if this was a pissing match, why are you smelling like sh.t?

No they are not- they were broken into, and information they were legally
entitled to, and obligated to maintain, was stolen from them.  Only an
absolute moron like you would immediately think lawsuit. But that is your
answer to everything.  People like you are the reason that normal people
have such a hard time getting assistance form these companies.  You lie,
whine and take up valuable time that people with real problems could use,
and when all else fails, you immediately threaten some form of legal action.
You openly advocate lying to these companies in order to bypass their
policies, which unfortunately become even harder to deal with because of
morons like you who abuse the system.  You are a classic example of  'me
first- f.ck everybody else'.

No they had a duty to inform their customers the *minute* they knew
their personal information was compromised.  They also have a duty to
assist any customer who suffers *ANY* loss arising from that theft.

What happens if a particular customer's credit history could have been
saved, but wasn't because of a week or more delay in attempting to
contact that customer, his refinancing falls through?  Or the car loan
is denied?

Maintain and keep secure. Hence their liability.
Scott Stephenson - 04 Apr 2004 00:17 GMT
> Maintain and keep secure. Hence their liability.

Maintained and secured in a LOCKED room in a LOCKED store.  No liability,
other than to notify the affected customers that a theft had occurred.  Do a
google on Wells Fargo- you'll see the same thing happened to them not too
long ago.

Not permanently, but there seems to have been a lag between
recognition that the theft occurred and notification to affected
customers.  I didn't say they were leaving the customers out in the
cold, but my point was that any undue delay in providing notification
increased exposure to affected customers' credit.

Now, let me get this straight- the information taken were things like names,
addresses, SS#, and credit card #'s.  Now, other than cancelling credit
cards (which are going to be protected anyway), just what would these people
have done about the other information in that week.  Moved?  Changed names?
Mr.Excitement - 04 Apr 2004 03:58 GMT
They (we) would have called the 3 major credit agencies and put a fraud
watch on their SSN's and got their names off of the pre-approved credit card
mailings list.  They would have also called the SS Administration and had
THEM flag the number for fraud.

Yep, that's what "they" are supposed to do.  I'm surprised you didn't know
that, as you seem to know alot.............. maybe even everything?

I knew all that, and unlike you, I know that the few precious days that you
guys are freaking out about pale in comparison to the 30+ days it takes the
credit bureaus to process the fraud alert.  Nice try, though.

Yes, you are - but you can try to offer PROOF as to why you aren't.

it doesn't work very well.

The trouble is that with a name, date of birth, and social security
number, an identity thief can easily open up credit cards in the victim's
name and ruin that person's credit.

Exactly. A Customer Friendly outfit, would have instantly hired Kelly
Girls and started telephoning Customers so they would know the same day,
not 3 or more days later when they got their mail.
Mr.Excitement - 04 Apr 2004 03:53 GMT
8 days between the time of the break in and the time I rec'd the letter.

The correct thing for Cingular to have done was to hire Kelley Girls and
telephone every victim. Waiting days to send letters that take days for
folks to receive is negligence and leaves them open to lawsuits if
anything untoward happened during the interim.

Usually it is the policy for credit card companies NOT to divulge the
addresses or [phone numbers of their card holders and in fact in some
states it is forbidden by law for a merchant to ask a customer for
these data!
BruceR - 04 Apr 2004 20:39 GMT
Of course, no matter what they did they'd be open to lawsuits. These
days nothing is off limits. Proving the identity theft was directly
caused by the break-in and further proving that faster notice would have
prevented it would be VERY difficult to prove unless Plaintiff could
show that the perpetrator obtained the information from the break-in and
not from another source and that the identity theft incidents occured
prior to the notice.
The best indication of the validity of such a suit would be the
willingness of a good lawyer to accept the case on a contingency basis.

It doesn't matter. They took REASONABLE precautions to secure the information.
It was not left out in the open and was not thrown out without shredding. It
was locked up as it should be.

Oh ... he's more than just an idiot. He's the biggest liar on the
newsgroups, he misquotes prior replies, he demunges email addresses ... and
oh by the way, changes IDs faster than a speeding bullet ...

He's denied having ATTWS service, yet says he's received his first bill (in
this newsgroup and this newsgroup only) on December 16th.

For those of you who aren't aware, here's a list of his known prior IDs,
going back to last summer. Sorry if looks a bit crowded, but I send posts
via plain text.

You are entitled to your opinion. In this case Cingular could be in a
world of hurt if the stolen info was used during the DAYS between when
they could have notified people and when people were actually notified.
Its called negligence.

Scott, why not quit responding to ANYTHING that he writes. Before long we will
see him disappear.

What are your qualifications to make such a claim? Are you an
attorney?

Then the answer is "no".

Do you know the definition of a shame?

There was a bus full of Lawyers in Tahoe on a fishing day from a conference. On
the way back to the hotel the bus went over a cliff and they all died!

Do you know the definition of a crying shame?

There were 3 empty seats!

It would be nice to know if it was just customers of that store or every
cingular customer.

The only way that could happen is if the entire Cingular customer database
were loaded on that machine, and that is not going to be the case.

Most of what the agents do is web based.  They won't get nearly as much off
the machines as they will from the paper files that we're
lifted....................genius.

Nice- didn't have anything to do with the previous post.  Further proof that
Darwin was right.  That is, unless you are stupid enough to think that a
contracted dealer has paper files on ALL CIngular customers.  What?  They
don't?  Then I guess your answer really doesn't pertain.  Imagine that.

Well, they had paper files for 600 of them.........genius.

And the question was asked about ALL Cingular customers...........moron.

Keep up with the conversation.
