Xfinity, Alleged Phone Traffickers, Agree to Deadline Extension

Comcast’s Xfinity Mobile and the three defendants it alleges are trafficking in unlawfully obtained handsets (see 2211170061) stipulated to a deadline extension to Dec. 20 for the defendants to answer the complaint, said a proposed order Wednesday (docket 2:22-cv-01950) in U.S. District Court for Arizona in Phoenix. XM alleges defendants SellLocked.com, its affiliate Guru Holdings and their owner Jakob Zahara, working with co-conspirators throughout the world, exploit XM’s financial incentives to acquire phones by using various unlawful methods to circumvent the policies and procedures put in place to protect XM and its legitimate customers. They then resell the unlawfully obtained phones for a substantial profit, alleges XM.
