Only way to clone someones SIM is to get its IMSI number which can be done by special device which simulates base station. They put it somehere near you and your phone registers to it instead to a real BS and they get your IMSI. But that device is very expensive so it is very unlikkely that someone has it...

They are full of it, you CAN'T do over the air cloning, it could be done with analogue phones.
Is this a dream or a memory? |

It's a hoax, a well known one at that...

Above explains it all. I think it did once hold some weight a very long time ago with an internal system (either used in a corporation or by the US army or something) but it was purely an internal scam and can't affect any of us.
