I am writing to report a case of Portability Phone fraud and unauthorized access to my families, privacy, confidentuality digital footprint personal information that has arisen following the tragic passing of my son, Sergio Sanchez, in a motorcycle accident on March 31, 2025. The phone number in question has been in our family for more than a decade, my son was involved in a business phone plan with Mr. Singh . because for insurance and high accident rates, the owner of of Deluxe Transportation made all employees owner operators. Mr. Singh fraudulent behavior took full advantage of sure and made a business pan with Verizon Wireless. The agreement with my son only came about in January 2025. On April 27, 25 Mr. Singh agreed to port my son’s phone number for a fee of $400. After I wired the money to him via Apple Pay, he refused to honor our verbal agreement and has since retained access to the phone number, in addition to all above, He suspended the line once he found that the physical phone was in the procession of the Rocklin Police Department, pending an ongoing accdent investigation. once he found that we had phycial possession of the phone, thats when he asked for money. and with my greaving mental health state of mind, I didnt think twice about the wire transfer, I only. wanted the phone line so. that could access very valuable data associated with my. sons phone. I have since learned that ‘Port out” scams are a way for criminals to use my phone to receive authentication security codes to gain access to financial or social accounts. All have been compromised. Since my son’s death, Mr. Singh has been using this number to access sensitive information related to my family and me. He has reportedly gained entry to our usernames, passwords, bank accounts, and even paid bills using Apple Pay.

Furthermore, Mr. Singh has access to our and has change passwords to several email accounts, including iCloud, Turbo Tax, ?Quick Books, the business app the Deluxe Transport uses for book keeping which is crucial for managing my son’s taxes and finances. He has also gained access through “Two Party Auth, directly connected with my home monitoring system His actions have left me feeling helpless, vulnerable, and fearful of further identity theft or financial loss.

I am requesting your assistance in investigating Mr. Singh’s actions and facilitating the return of the phone line to my control.
