Hi everyone,
for some of you the topic of VoIP fraud might be interesting,
especially if you are in VoIP/Telecoms industry. You an check the
anti-fraud project at
www.voipfraud.net.
According to the feedback collected during recent GTM 2007 in
Washington, many people from this global industry are still not aware
of the VoIP fraud threat. From my own (or my companies) experience I
can say that VoIP fraud is not something that "happens to someone
else"; fortunately we have managed to discover fraud attempts early
enough. However, there are many thiefs outside and they could be very
dangerous (some of them managed to steal out several millions dollars
and to harm dozens of companies). So, probably it makes sense to
inform people at least about their existence, their names and schemes
they are using.
On the mentioned web-site you can find an interesting part about fraud
schemes and also the list of already identified cheaters. Such
information could be (at least partly) useful even for a people who
are not strictly in VoIP/Telecoms business.
