Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Cloning Fraud  It occurs when criminals use scanners to obtain legitimate MIN / ESN / PIN combinations and then program them into illegitimate phones. (Recall, PINS are not used very often today.)
Clone Fraud  A legitimate serial number is programmed into an imposter's cell phone. Crooks get the numbers because they are broadcast with every cellular call and can be picked up by ordinary radio scanners.
Cloned Phone  A cell phone has two basic ways it identifies itself to the cell phone company it wants to use  its own telephone number, which can be changed, and a special secret number embedded into the silicon inside the phone called the ESN. When the phone wants to make a call, it sends these numbers and the cell carrier use them to check if the call is authentic.
