Major security/fraud risks
Dangerously bad security and fraud prevention processes. Fraudsters were able to call up and get a SIM sent to an address other than my account address. I caught it in time and was assured that it wouldn't/couldn't happen again. Two days later they did it again. The third time they got lucky and I lost control of my number, and all hell breaks loose. I call Lebara and they tell me they have disabled the number and locked down my account, but don't do either of those things. Some days later they even ported my number out to a new provider without notifying me. One month on and I don't have control of my number (which is still live and in the control of fraudsters as of today), the fraudsters continue to cause utter chaos in my affairs, and each day Lebara tell me "the issue should be sorted in the next 24 hours". I've just had a call from them (for the first time since all this started) asking me to send them the same basic SIM info that I gave them a month ago, "so that we can look into this for you". This goes beyond a simple mistake - I think reckless behaviour would be closer to the mark.
