Hey people just got a txt saying

Do you know anything about the arrests on the mainland and in lisburn of people who have been cloning modems. VM have released a statement that after the recent firmware they are able to detect whoever is using cloned modems and the fraud that comes along with it carrys an 18 month sentence. Until we get around it get them to hold onto their modems

anyone know anything about this?

You got that in an sms message? Or email? And from who?

Sounds very much like another attempt to scare people, possibly by VM.

Got any more info on this one?
