Remember that some of us poor souls have firewalls, and cannot go to those sites.
Would it be too much to ask for a brief summary, or a cut-and-paste?

The most important part was at the very bottom...

They guy had a great story but not one source to back it up. I'm not saying it's not true, but, again, he did not list any sources.
...
I saw the story listed on another board and someone who apparently was some type of manager at Sprint posted that the story was true. He said that the guy left out alot but he had helped terminate thousands of these accounts.
...
Again... I'm not saying it's not true, but there are still no verified sources here.

I don't think Sprint would comment publicly on anything internal they didn't want to share with the public. They were extremely quiet about telling customers about the employee who was compromising customer accounts. The author wrote a new piece that I just saw on their page. Looks like a lot more details and names are mentioned.

Perhpas those 1,200 customers they let go a few years back have signed up again and are complaining and getting all those credits from customer service again...

Again, not saying it's NOT true, but blogs do not = reliable news sources.

What if the blogger had worked for Sprint? The information they have seems to suggest they work for the company or know someone who has inside information. Of all things they would write about, if someone wanted to make up a conspiracy, why Sprint of all things? Just doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't go with something about how the government is trying to control our minds or something instead. 😕

And this moron had the nerve to come on this board and complain about it. I sure hope Best Buy canned him.

Years ago, a friend of my brother's used to work as a salesman for a T-mobile dealer. He said that every time they ran a new activation, they would get on the phone and call their sister-store across town before processing the activation.
Both stores pulled up the "create new customer" screen (or whatever it was) and entered in al the same customer information. Then, the employee at store one and the employee at store two both hit the "activate" button at the same second....
It glitched the billing system and rang through as a double commission, two new customers and only one line of service, one monthly bill, one telephone number!
