Fradulent account
We have a couple of guys hitting up our stores and signing for phones, only to turn around and cancel them using a dealer code. He's signed up under a bunch of different business tax ID's. It's a rough estimate, but we think he's gotten at least 28 phones from our stores in the past week or so.
My question is: Why hasn't T-Mobile flagged this guy, closed his account, or notified people? What will T-Mobile do for us in order to catch this fraud artist? Anything?
Thanks.

They're probably already on the way to investigate, and catch the person. You'd be surprised how much they do not let the employees know because they never know who is actually doing it. It may be an under cover investigation, and which you'll never know. Just like Verizons investigation with the access to Obamas account. They did all that in private, and fired those that did it.

Have you reported it to the Fraud team?

They always investigate it. Usually they want a case to build where the money loss results into jail time.
We have a problem with our market with stolen live demo phones, but the police department and state only want to press on if there is going to be a felony charge.

Well, our store has a great fraud team, and they just picked up all the contracts. 20 phones from our location alone, resulting in 13,000 dollars in charge backs. We're waiting for the fraud team to work on pressing charges to turn them in. I've been told that if they want to buy more phones, to calmly ask for ID, and copy the license for police purposes. I can't wait to nab these jerks.
I called it awhile ago, but my manager okay'd the sale.
