Amazing. Anybody, any phone number, any time.
Dozens of online services are selling lists of cell phone calls
John of AMERICABlog tests one service out, and finds that their web advertisement is correct:
The company boasts on its own Web site:
Give us the cell phone number and we will send you the calls made from the cell phone number.
So I went to their site, plopped down $110, and within a day I had a list of every single phone number that called my cell, or that I called from my cell, for the month of November. I even had the dates the calls were made, and for a premium I could find out how long the calls were.
I called Cingular and they were shocked by what I told them – yeah right.
No I am not linking to the site in question. I’m not giving them the free publicity. But I’m pissed off. Why this isn’t illegal I don’t know. If it is, someone ought to be going to jail pronto. And if it’s not, it ought to be.
