Seems like if the carrier just gave a new sim card to a scammer without verifying they should be on the hook for the bill?
Seems like a bad ruling, but I need more info than the article provides.
A new sim card should only be obtainable in store with valid ID.
I think the complex question is how much liability should be taking on for this sort of thing. Theoretically the losses could be massive if a rich person gets scammed... Is the liability unlimited?
