Another possible scenario for the purchase of these Tracphones is that someone "underground" may have figured out a way to hack into Tracfone's system so that these pre-paid phone minutes no longer need to be "paid" for and it's only a certain model that it will work on.
On the black market, a phone like that would sell for bundles. Hacking goes on all over the place with cell phone networks, so it wouldn't surprise me.
It just doesn't make sense to me. They could use a store for a front and order them wholesale. These guys are driving all over the country. Gas alone would make this non profitable imo.
Ding Ding ! We have a Winner !
Someone here ( besides the Feds ) understands whats actually happening with these guys.
AP has a little snip today that the Feds just filed fraud charges against these guys.
As much as some here are drooling over the thought that they might have found some terrorism, it looks as if they are to be disappointed again.
