TracFone sells your name, address, telephone number etc. on open Internet market
I bought a tracfone.
Turns out tracfone sells all your data (name, address, phone number, etc.) on the open Internet market.
Within about 5 days of giving data to Tracfone, I started receiving these calls from fake caller ID (numbers in my area code, 'Unavailable', etc.).
The callers would say 'THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR COMPUTER. We have been receiving reports daily. Callers usually have imperfect English and/or accent.
When I tried to resist, those tracfone callers would usually say 'I am fxxxing your mother', 'I am fxxxing your wife', etc. In other words, the people who tracfone sells your data to, aren't even aware that they are doing something illegal.
Don't give in to them. They are just calling you so you can send them money.
I wish tracfone would stop this disgusting practice of selling your name, address, telephone number, etc. to such bad people. (Tracfone CEO and the states who offer Safelink service thru tracfone: please take note.)
Reason of review: Tracfone sells your personal data to people in Nigeria.
Monetary Loss: $3000.
Preferred solution: Tracfone and Safelink stop its dubious practices of selling their own consumers' data.
Location: Saint Paul, Minnesota
