“We allege that, with the help of insiders at cellphone stores, this ring stole hundreds of thousands from Manhattanites by accessing their accounts through SIM-swapping,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Again and again, we see New Yorkers’ funds drained after their phones are taken over through similar schemes.
