US Cell Phone owners beware!!!! (Must Read)

[Devious]

I was watching a news program last night and they were talking about something rather scary. Apparently there is a website called locatecell.com where, if you know someone's cellphone number and have $100 to spare, you can get the complete phone records of anyone in America. The way it works is you go to this website and enter in the number you want the record of and your email address. You are charged a $100 fee. Within 1 to 4 hours you will recieve an email containing the complete phone record of the number you entered, including all ingoing and outgoing calls. Some of the cell phone companies have caught wind of this and are taking legal action against the site, including Cingular. Unfortunately i was unable to find an article to link to for proof, but there is a video link at cnn.com. So be careful who you give your cell phone number to!

hahaha i could care less if people find out my friends numbers

 

[PELLA]

this site is for like crazy girlfriends who'll do anything to find out if they're bf's are cheating on them or not.

lmfao

it could be used for tons of things. If you're in a gang, for example, other gang members can do this to check your records to see if you've been talking to the police on your cell phone. Crazy girlfriends or obsessive boyfriends can monitor their partner's calls, your boss can find out if you've been talking to any of your competitors, the list goes on and on

bah,nothing new.there's many services like this,but people probably only stumbled over this particular one.

with a little legwork,brains and some dough you can get a copy of anyone's driver's license, SSN,birth certificate,bank account statements,criminal records,credit reports.

he's right:thumb:

 

[Devious]

he is right, but all that stuff took knowledge and a lot of legwork to do. With this, all you need is a computer, access to the internet, someone's cell number and $100, so anyone can do it. You don't find it a threat to your privacy that anyone can see who you've been talking to?

no gangmember does that.

 

[Devious]

but now that it is so easy to do that you think they wont? if they have suspicion that one of the members might be a snitch, that's a good way to find out.

 

[SiGh]

word gets around quicker than...some1 actually goin online and doin that.

 

[Devious]

in an hour or less? word does get around, but you can't always trust someone's word. This can be used to verify that word however. either way my point is that there are about a million ways this information can be used.

 

[SiGh]

from what ive done and known...i never heard that thing until it was just posted..maybe if it gets around n shit. but reall people that are on the streetz..im telling u they dont use dat. the corner is whats thatfor. and the 2wayz.

maybe some higher class type of wannabes or sumthin but im telling u dats how it is.

 

[Devious]

well this is fairly new, so of course it didn't go on before. All that i'm saying is that if you thought someone was snitching on you, don't you think this would be a good way to find out? I didn't want to get into an argument about gangs tho, it was an example that just popped into my head thats all. I can honestly say i have no experience with LA street gangs, so i wouldn't know.

 

[SiGh]

its def..a good way to find out shit. no dowt. and i was just speaking from my experience and knowledge..things havent changd much and everything

does it give u wut they talkd bout and their convo? or just the number n etc?

 

[Devious]

just numbers of all outgoing and incoming calls. The phone company doesn't record your conversations so there would be no record of that

 

[SiGh]

oh aight. only dat for 100 billz? dats sum expensive shit.

 

[2PacThug4Life]

It's tha SiGh and Devious187 show.


But, yeah, that's pretty crazy.

 

[SiGh]

jealous?
