Petition Pimpin' Again! Protect Your Cell Phone Records!

Petition from the:

You’d think that YOUR cell phone records would be considered privy information for only you and your cell phone company to access. Think again. Now there’s a fast emerging business that sells your information to anyone willing to pay a quick $100.

How? Crooked companies have taken to calling your cell phone companies, pretending to be you in order to glean information about your account. It’s called “pretexting” and there are no strong laws in place to protect you from it.

For just 100 bucks, these companies will provide to anyone a report of all the incoming and outgoing calls from your cell phone, or toll calls from your regular phone. Anyone, without your permission, can view a list of people you talk to, their phone numbers, and the length and time of the call.

This information is deeply private for most of us - but can be used by stalkers, nosey neighbors, and political or business opponents to do us harm.
While cell phone companies have no legal incentive to stop this practice, Consumer’s Union is leading the charge to demand that Congress take action to protect consumers like you and me.

Join them now to call for laws that will make it illegal for anyone to buy or sell your phone records, or to pretend to be you in order to get them.

STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY! READ AND SIGN THE PETITION!
