With huge numbers of TracFone prepaid handsets being sold at many places, authorities are wondering why. Well, last week's arrest of a man for buying TracFone handsets and then modifying them to be used with any carrier and recent concerns that terrorists may be using these units for communications, has made TracFone be under the microscope at many retailers.When dozens and dozens of TracFone units are sold to a sole individual anywhere, that should set off alarms in most cases. It's hard to imagine that these buyers are purchasing TracFone units for resale, when such a tiny markup can be added. But, hey, it is a free country, right?
