Tracey Holmes: My mobile phone number was hijacked and it could happen to you
What to do if it happens to you.
Detective Chief Inspector Craft gave a few tips to offer to prevent the same thing happening to you: don't put too much personal information online, clear your mailbox so people can't steal your bills and understand how valuable your name, date of birth and address are to criminals.
If your mobile number is ported away, this is what you should do:
• Immediately freeze your bank accounts
• Go to a police station and report the crime, rather than just phoning
• Then deal with the telco last, as there's not much they can do
Once that's all been sorted, which could take days, contact ID Care.
