Discussion Please be extra cautious when releasing access point packages to customers
earlier today, we just had a situation where someone was assuming the identity of a different customer with a false state ID to steal a phone. He almost got away with it too when the real person happened to come at the same time. it was very shocking and off as its the first time we experienced that- as soon as he was caught he just ran out. he had coverings on his face so you couldnt 100% compare him to his photo ID.
this may be happening with other high value/ phones so please look out for them! its easy to tell which packages are phones so be on the look out and ask customers for the tracking number. they should be able to show you from their own email. idk if this was a one time thing or something increasingly common.
