Digi unifi account opened using other people IC

thingamagic — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 10:44:47 +0800

My brother kena, was called /sms many times from debt collectors on behalf of TM, about outstanding balance in account registered under his name/ic except the account address is elsewhere (different from IC) and registered phone number is different. Yet somehow the debt collectors manage to trace brothers phone no.

Brother called up TM and sure enough account no. is valid and unifi used by somebody else. Told to report to police and go tmpoint.

Seems common case.

Question is how TM can open account without verifying IC (photocopy?) against applicant, imagine how easy such happens for any telco services
