Belarus faces 38 years in prison for setting up CallService.biz
26-year-old Belarusian Dmitry Naskovets admitted to managing the website CallService.biz, through which more than 2,000 cases of identity theft were carried out. A network of German and English-speaking operators worked for him, who telephoned banks, pretending to be victims of identity theft and confirming fraud transactions carried out by accomplices.
The attackers found a clever way to bypass the anti-fraud protection that many US banks use when cardholders are often asked to confirm suspicious transactions over the phone.
Dmitry Naskovets provided the operator with information about the victim, including his name, postal address, social security number and answers to secret questions like “What city did you marry?” And “What is your elder brother's name?”. He explained which phrases to say so that suspicious transactions from card accounts were approved.
In one of its online advertisements, CallService.biz stated that it had already completed over 5,400 successful transaction confirmations. The company advertised its services in the CardingWorld.cc community.

CardingWorld.cc operator Sergei Semashko allegedly helped Naskovets to open the CallService.biz site in June 2007. Now Semashko is under investigation in Belarus.
Naskovets was arrested ( PDF ) in the Czech Republic in April 2010 and extradited to the USA ( PDF ) in September. He faces nearly 38 years in prison on charges of telephone fraud and credit card fraud. The verdict will be announced on May 26. On Wednesday, they began to consider Naskovets’s complaint in the Manhattan District Court.
