9-1-1 services in New York City took a credibility hit this week as several employees were accused of selling caller information to fake caller centers that essentially preyed on the most vulnerable callers. Geographically targeted were victims whose home addresses reflected they were in less affluent NY communities, therefore less likely to notice the scam being pulled off.
