For what it's worth I will be writing to all the telcos to suggest this kind of thing is unacceptable and that we take a dim view of such nonsense.
And if any more cases pop up I will explain it all to Fair Go and let them loose on the matter. They love a good juicy scam and it's been weeks since they had a telco in their sights.

Paul, I wonder if there's scope here for a scheme like the one we use with .nz domain names. When a user gets a domain name they get a unique key called a UDAI (Unique Domain Authentication ID) which needs to be quoted to allow a new registrar to take over handling a domain. Or in the mobile space the use of the PUK code. Surely it's not beyond the telcos to devise something that handles land lines like this. andy
