A senior police officer is in shock after criminals registered 9 SIM cards using his ID number. The question is - who would steal personal details of a former police officer and use them to register nine (9) SIM cards? His post read: "Today I went into a Telkom office to register my second Telkom line the first one being used at home as a family line. "Telkom also verifies customer identification details using the government’s Integrated Population Registration Services (IPRS) database, before proceeding to register any customer onto the network,” Mlaghui added. In most cases, criminals use other people's ID details to register phone numbers which they use to execute criminal activities.
