The Mystery of Battery Change Guy

Why did the police tell us to delete one specific phone number from our contacts?

In high school, everyone had the same “mystery contact” saved as “Battery Change

Guy” – some cheap service that came to you, swapped your phone battery,

no questions asked. No shop, no website, just a number passed around.

If your phone was dying, you texted him your location. He showed up in

a hoodie, took your phone for five minutes, brought it back working perfectly.

Nobody thought it was weird… until the arrests started. Turns out, he wasn’t fixing

batteries. He was cloning SIM cards and tracking messages for a local gang.
