I believe my number may have been ported as part of a scam. I have no network access and I had a ton of VISA purchases that I did not make.
What can I do to get my number back??
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. Was your number ported out or was your sim card changed in your account? Do a personal review of how much personal information you have accesible to the public ?

I bought it on Amazon about 6 months ago. No issues until today when I believe it was ported.

There we go. Collect some data. I still wonder about a straight data breach.

@terry_kennedy In addition to what's already been suggested, I'd recommend that when you contact moderators to have your username changed to something completely unrelated to your name. Good luck!
