A Lincolnshire man's criticising Vodafone for breaking security check rules allowing fraudsters to buy a £9,000 Rolex watch on his credit card.
Image source, Getty ImagesIn February, David Hart discovered Vodafone had given someone else control of his mobile phone number.
They had contacted Vodafone via the company's online web-chat service and pretended to be him.
His phone number was switched to another network, allowing criminals to receive the text message from his credit card provider which authorised the purchase of the watch.
A whistleblower told the BBC it happens because of pressure on call centre staff to meet customer satisfaction targets.

The company said that data protection forms a major part of a customer service adviser's training.
It takes non-compliance "extremely seriously" and disciplinary action is taken if any individual is found not to have followed its procedures.
