I had a cust try to collect a debt via text and when he had to sue to get the $$ he wanted the txts printed out as proof that they had agreed to a payment plan.

I was like 😳 😳 😳 ...

And when i told him we could not do that he did not believe me.

However i did once convince a teenager that we saw every txt or pic msg that went thru. Straight faced i looked at him and said "How do you think it gets from their phone to yours....we have somebody that is in back routing all the messages."

He nearly freaked before i laughed and said i was kidding.

i do something similar. when i use my cellebrite to transfer pictures, i'll give them "the look" while the pix are transferring.
they'll start to freak out and ask me if i can see the pics on the screen. i just smirk at them, wait a second. smile and say no

gets em everytime

we don't have that machines so when we transfer it is bluetooth...and oh yeah...we see 'em. That is how i sell some memory cards...
ME: We can transfer over those pics from your old phone....

Cust: AWESOME!! Thanks...

ME:Hand it here and i will bluetooth each one...to the new phone...

Cust: Uh....ok. Do you have to do them individually??

Me:Yep...but thats not a problem..

Cust: Hmmmm....

Me: With a memory card it would be as simple as taking it out and putting it in the new phone..

Cust: Well...how much are those again???

Me: 🤣 39.99......pretty easy to get one in here....

Cust..Yeah we had better do that...

I had a 16 year old girl come in and ask if there was any way her parents could get a print out of her text messages...


She looked a little too relieved when I said no.


Dirty dirty girl. 😲

I tell them what to do (get bitpim) (use bitpim) if they buy a phone from me. Seriously. And it works.

Yeah they can be pretty dumb. I am ballsy though. I tell them straight up "if you buy the phone from me I'll tell you how to extract your from your old phone.

Yes phones are updated constantly. PDAs require drivers available from the manufacturer's website. I used it on a voyager, a razr, and a sprint samsung I forgot the name of. Very popular model a year ago with three buttons on the front.
