A Summerville man had told local authorities that his pre-paid Verizon Wireless cell phone account has been hacked and there's not much he can do about it.

The man said that over the weekend, he realized he hadn't received any phone calls or texts from work or family. He said he contacted his cell phone provider and found that all his security information and his phone number had been changed on February 7.  According to the report, the man said he was told by the Verizon associate that several other accounts had been hacked in which someone had changed people's security information and phone numbers. 

Because the account is pre-paid, is someone obtains your security information and then changes that information and phone number, that person can use the account for that month, under a different phone number. The incident was turned over to investigators.
