PR Newswire (US)
ATLANTA, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless has won another
battle in its fight against websites that offer cell phone records
for sale. The U.S. District Court in Atlanta, GA, has approved a
Consent Temporary Restraining Order that halts the ability of
eFindOutTheTruth.com to obtain and sell Cingular customer records.
Among other things, the Order prohibits employees and agents of
eFindOutTheTruth.com from using the name or identity of any
Cingular employee or customer for any purpose. Last month, Cingular
filed a civil lawsuit alleging that eFindOutTheTruth.com unlawfully
obtained and disseminated Cingular customer records. For example,
Cingular's lawsuit claims that eFindOutTheTruth.com or its agents
dishonestly posed as Cingular customers and employees in order to
gain access to customer account information. "Data brokers should
know that Cingular will persist in its aggressive fight to protect
customer privacy," said Joaquin Carbonell, Executive Vice President
and General Counsel, Cingular Wireless. "We will continue this
battle in the courts, by working with law enforcement, and by
supporting the enactment of tough new laws that put an end to Cell
Phone Records Ripoffs." Earlier this month, Cingular obtained a
Temporary Restraining Order against Data Find Solutions, Inc. and
1st Source Information Specialists, Inc. Cingular believes that
Data Find Solutions, Inc. previously owned and operated several
websites that advertise the sale of phone records, including
locatecell.com and celltolls.com, and that 1st Source Information
Specialists, Inc. currently owns and operates these websites. About
