This has happened to a few other victims also: quote: Rating: 0 Roborobssidekick - 29 May 2008 Just to warn all of you, getting a new card does nothing. My step father was charged months ago a $4.95 fee from 205-332-1748 and I cancelled his card and got him a new one. Well, I was just checking his statement online and once again he was charged $2.95 from the number 402-408-6643 and this is AFTER I got him a new card. Just be ware.......... Caller: DAYE TRAF DAYETRAFFIC
»800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-402-408-6643/3
The above poster does put a time-frame on when the charge showed up on the new card. If it was within 30-60 days of being re issued, it could be a "rollover charge" transferred from the old card number. If it is more than that time, they have his new number.
This guy is making a big mistake, he will have to deal with this every month until he gives up and cancels and replaces the card. he may as well go through the hassle now and get it over with, before they decide to use it for hosting, VOIP, or domains. or even book some airline tickets with it.
quote: Rating: 0 Michael Varick in Orlando - 6 Jun 2008 Hello Fellow Victims: I just got hit for $4.95 on my Bank of America card from Daye Traffic. Not the first time; I was hit from a "Wabbys" on March 5, for SAME Amount. I think they pick a small "cup of coffee" amount so it falls under most people's radar. It was a "hobby shop", too. So, why don't I cancel the card you ask? Well, I have over 30 autopays linked directly to the card. I will have to spend 2 full days finding out who they all are. Why does that matter? If I cancel the card and get a new number, and forget to notify even ONE of the companies on auto-pay, I can get hit with a huge NSF fee. I'll pay the $4.95 every three months. Sad.
»800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-402-408-6643/2
I know who "Wabbys" is, and it is not a hobby shop, another of the criminal's domains, coming up in a few.
Here is the least worst thing that happens when you do not cancel and reissue the card:
quote: dadof89 - 25 May 2008 Ditto for me. $4.95 on May 20th. I have had at least one of these a month for the last 5 mos. Different company every time, but amounts very similar. 4.95. 7.95, etc. Safe to say, small amounts that a lot of folks out there wouldn't even notice. Each time, a simple phone call to the credit card company reverses the charge but it is very frustrating that they don't go after these guys !!! these guys must be raking it in for all the folks who don't call it in
Here is a report of a tandem charge from LINK SERVICES" 866-473-8739 need to dig some more on them. All the way through this fraud operation, there has been an entire division of tandem charges coming from names with toll free contact numbers. Besides toll free numbers with no name voice mail answering services, their other unique characteristics are that they use very generic names which I suspect they are partial or abbreviated names of the actual account names, to deliberately obfuscate themselves. In many cases they only use three letters in the line item charge field. Though in some cases the state abbreviation follows the phone number on the line item, exhaustive searches of the related states corporate records have failed to identify them or websites, if they exist. They may be registered as fictitious business names and not LLCs' or Corps'. In many states the FBNs are registered at the county level and do not appear in state records.
quote: Joe - 24 May 2008 Just got my credit card statement with a fraudulent charge of $9.00 on it from "LINK SERVICES" out of California with the phone number of 866-473-8739. I also got one from "DAYE TRAFFIC LLC" with the phone number of 402-408-6643. I reported my credit card as stolen and will dispute the charges on Monday. I filed a complaint with the FTC: »rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.start···ODE=PU01
I'm from Connecticut. Where is everyone else from? Caller ID: 866-473-8739 Caller: LINK SERVICES
»phoneowner.info/Number.aspx/8664738739
I hope that poster used the wrong terminology, for these frauds one should NEVER report the actual card as stolen, when in fact it has not been, just the card data. If you report the actual card as stolen, that opens you up to some liability, especially if it was a debit card. In these cases never report the card as stolen, in fact, emphasis the fact that it is still in your possession, that is very important in protecting your liability for funds that already have been fraudulenty removed from your account.

Call it instinct, but something motivated me to dig further. I ran the name "Thericka Joseph" through the New Jersey corporations database and came up with a second hit.

Does not look good, either BENNUTECH.COM AKA BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC 973-944-3970 after 8 months may be hitting the charge back threshold, or the crime syndicate has duped Thericka Lane Joseph into setting up a second operation, which is typical. Off to do some digging on the very recent CALLIDORA DESIGNS LLC.

That phone number - 973-944-3970 - is a Morristown, N.J. landline phone number. Irvington is a 908 area code. Many of the "landline" numbers wil be Vonage lines. Several months back during the cyber-mule debriefing process that issue came up. I always ask if they were emailed files by the crime syndicate, or given download links etc. I am looking for the possibility that their computers were deliberately infected by the criminals after they came onboard. That was motivated by the fact the the crime syndicate communicates frequently via hijacked PCs that are part of bot networks.
During one debriefing when the cyber-mule said that they did not download anything, nor were emailed links or files, I said was there anything else unusual that happened. He said "now that you mention it, there was something". A package was sent to me that I did not order. Several days later the syndicate asked me if I had received a package from Vonage. They then told me to plug it in and attach it to my broadband router.
Very slick, the crime syndicate orders Vonage service using victim's hijacked credit cards, and has the voip box shipped to a cyber-mule. They then use them as the fraud site contact phone numbers, and can retrieve the voice mail remotely. When the numbers are traced they will lead to accounts charged to a card victim. When the associated IP address for the VOIP box is traced, it will lead to a cyber-mule. When the IP address that accessed the account are traced it will lead to various domestic hijacked IPs from a bot network that are used as proxies.
This is not an exclusive method, not all cyber-mules are sent boxes. It is just part of a robust group of options that the organized crime syndicate uses to manage a US based telephone system. Neither is a specific cyber-mules Vonage box used for that mules associated LLC and fraud site. It is a mix and match diverse set up to add obfuscation, and deter accurate tracking. Remember that the phone numbers listed for all the carded domain registrations, and the associated email addresses are controlled by the syndicate also. That is also why some of the listed phone numbers are routinely disconnected. The card victims dispute the "Vonage" charge, and the account is subsequently cancelled. However once the initial order is approved they will have anywhere from 30 to 60 days of use, if the victim even disputes it.
Asking if the cyber-mule was shipped a voip box is now a standard part of the debriefing process. When found, the box is disconnected in addition to locking out the authorize.net gateway account and the business bank account.
MGD | |  MGDPremium,MVM join:2002-07-31 Fort Lauderdale, FL kudos:9 | reply to MGD BENNUTECH.COM AKA BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC 973-944-3970 and CALLIDORADESIGNS.NET AKA CALLIDORA DESIGNS LLC 973-735-2361 have ceased operations. Once informed that the business was set up exclusively for fraudulent card processing, the cyber-mule agreed to immediately block the crime syndicate's access to the suthorize.net merchant processing account, and online access to the business bank accounts. They also will stop the set up processing of the recent CALLIDORA DESIGNS LLC.
The cyber-mule was recruited from a response to their resume which was posted on careerbuilders.com. This is the fourth cyber-mule that was recruited via careerbuilders.com. Clearly the organized crime syndicate is actively trolling resumes posted on that site, as well as monster.com.
In this case the criminals presented themselves as a company from Helsinki, Finland called Oivabisnes Ltd and directed the potential employee to their website »oivabisnes.com

The criminals promoted a "US Partnership Program" as the recruiting vector.
US Partnership Program
Last year we successfully initiated our Web Designers Promo Program (WDPP). Its task is to globally promote web design solutions of young creative web design professionals living and working in Finland. One of the major trends in their work is creating website templates. They are professionally made and unique, and can be used for personal and business purposes. If you don't know how to design a web page or are in a hurry to get a site up and running, these templates is the perfect solution. Designed by young professionals these pre-made web pages are in great demand on the Finnish IT market. Oivabisnes marketing specialists conducted an in-depth research of the US web technologies market and it proved to have enormous demand for high quality, state of the art website templates. And this exactly what young Finnish pros do. It was the reason why US Partnership Program was launched as part of WDPP. Within US Partnership Program Oivabisnes is looking for US sales agents interested in having a web design store. Easy and hassle-free set-up lets sales agents start generating substantial revenues as fast as within 2-3 days.
The "set up guide" and its simplicity, further lured potential cyber-mules into the trap of easy money. Archiving the text for search engine reference.
Set-up Guide
You want to enjoy a higher standard of living? Take maximum from your life? But you have no idea how to do it and what to start with?
OIVABISNES invites you to fantastic world of Internet sales where tons of money are made every day and that big money is just waiting for YOU!

OIVABISNES unites the forces of the most professional Finnish web designers and needs Sales Agents to sell web design products in the US.
•Why we need Sales Agents:
Most of our partner web designers are freelancers and do not have their own web stores and OIVABISNES assist them with getting their products to online sales. Another thing is that the most yielding way of boosting sales is launching a number of subsidiaries: this standard marketing method makes it look like different companies sell their own merchandise and potential buyers believe they make a choice not realizing that the product is the same. This business idea is as simple as it is profitable: if you are already a business or going to become one with OIVABISNES easy steps, our company shall make a web site in the name of your business that will sell web design on the web. Your commission starts at 10% on net sales and will grow together with the sales volume on your web site.
•What you as a Sales Agent will do:
You will need to register a business in your state (city).* The company may be registered as a Corporation, LLC, Sole Proprietorship or other business entity. * If you already have a company, its great and will make the start up yet faster!
The cost of opening a small business starts from $200 if you choose the simplest form of business like Sole Proprietorship. The timeframe for a company set-up also differs from state to state and normally registration takes 2-3 business days.
OIVABISNES will credit you for opening your small business. Please, refer to our OIVABISNES Sales Agent Agreement to learn the details.
As you are setting up your company OIVABISNES will put your web store on the web. This job will be done exclusively by OIVABISNES as it will require certain skills and experience in programming and web design.
After you are done with company set up and we create your web store we launch our joint project. OIVABISNES has a special marketing department that will take every effort to promote and advertise your Internet shop. Already the next day brings in the results. According to the conditions of your Sales Agent Agreement you will be entitled to a 10% commission on net sales made by your affiliate web site. The lowest estimate of your monthly income is around $1,500. Actually, this figure may be several times bigger.
OIVABISNES will handle all technical and customer service questions. No knowledge of information technologies is necessary on your side.
We are very proud of the fact that we developed a perfect business idea and that many busy people who wish to work full time for other companies and simultaneously have a side income made their dreams come true. Being a Sales Agent requires minimum of time and effort. You dont have to be particularly talented for that. Times when resellers had to do painstaking marketing are gone! Your main job is to create your company and as soon as you are done let your business name make money for you! Add here absolute transparence of all partnership activities and full control in your hands.
Should you have any questions while working as OIVABISNES Sales Agent you will be timely armed with our professional guidance and exhaustive instructions. Below is the e-mail address that you should use for all references and concerns:
usa.partners@oivabisnes.com or your Personal Managers e-mail address as soon as business communication is set up.

Jan Tillmonen US Partners Director, Oivabisnes Ltd.
Note the typical requirement of having a cyber-mule forward a copy of their picture identification. By now the crime syndicate has an extensive collection of US identity documents, which are no doubt subsequently used for nefarious purposes.

Many will list an entire run of charges which allows the connections to additional fraud domians to be made. 800notes was where the first reports surfaced of the cross charging between the this and the Globus / Photo division first showed up.

They apparently have no other means to steal (and are too lazy/stupid to do honest work) so when they get taken out early and cut off to their ill gotten gains they childishly go to the botnets to try to stop the money bleed the victims and investigators have started. I love it. It means they are feeling the pain. I hope they can't make their payments and lose some of their unearned luxuries. Hopefully their new lifestyle will be a cold, damp, dark 9 by 6 by 12 Cell with a huge and unruly roommate when law enforcement finally gets them and they are extradited to spend life behind bars.

MGD | |  | ea banks report fraudulent overseas withdrawals At TCU, nearly 100 accounts affected; activity traced to Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, other countries.
By TOM MOOR Tribune Staff Writer
SOUTH BEND At least dozens of area residents had money fraudulently withdrawn from their accounts over the weekend at locations overseas, local bank officials reported Monday.
At Teachers Credit Union, 97 members have been affected, said Paul Marsh, senior vice president for sales and marketing.
Marsh said the withdrawals some of which have been for more than $1,000 were all pin-based transactions made on debit cards at ATM machines in several countries, including Russia, Ukraine and Nigeria.
Marsh said he is not sure how the information is being obtained, but said all the withdrawals were made over the weekend.
Right now were looking into how theyre doing it, Marsh said. We think some of them are happening when a merchant is involved at the point of sale. Somehow theyre collecting the information, and it could be a number of possibilities. He said it was not the result of an internal breach.
Marsh is not sure if the number of people affected will increase but said reports diminished throughout the day. Were working with our members to take care of the situation, he said.
Similar reports have been made at Notre Dame Federal Credit Union. At least 10 members there reported fraudulent withdrawals made since Saturday, said Deidre Davis, vice president of marketing and business development.
Davis said theres been some sort of data breach and fraudulent withdrawals in Ukraine, Russia and Spain.
It looks like theyre coming from debit and ATM cards, but were not exactly sure at this point, she said.
Weve received enough calls to take a look at it, Davis added. Weve blocked it so our cards cannot be used in these three countries right now. Were taking a proactive stance so we dont see anymore.
At least three local people have also reported unauthorized withdrawals from their KeyBank accounts, although it is unclear if that bank has been affected by this particular fraud.
Meanwhile, Marsh said the amount of money being withdrawn from the TCU accounts varies.
In one of the police reports filed, a woman told police $106.82 had been withdrawn from her Visa debit card at a location in Novosivirsk, Russia. A local man told police $1,300 had been taken from his ATM card in the same Russian town. And another person had eight withdrawals on his card from the town, including four for $400 or more.
Our detectives are being assigned to the cases and are working with the banks, said Sgt. Bill Redman, a St. Joseph County police spokesman.

My bank was breached by a hacker or someone. Records were taken from the bank which then issued all customers new debit cards.
My bank is not included in the thefts listed above, which happened this weekend. | |  | reply to MGD said by MGD:From the post above where a victim reported a fraud charge from "Wabby's" in addition to the DAYETRAFFIC.COM AKA Daye Traffic LLC 402-408-6643 MGD Lump me in with this individual as well. I was hit by WABBYS on 3/7/2008, then a different card on the same account was hit 6/19/2008 by DAYE TRAFFIC. The weird part of this is...it was a different card number, but not a new one. My husband's card was hit by DAYE TRAFFIC, and my card was hit by WABBYS.
When WABBYS showed up we suspected it was from the credit card information that was stolen from the Sweetbay Grocery store chain. And they did not hit us just once for 4.95. We were hit multiple times in under a minute according to the bank. They stated it was just a mistake, and refused to file a fraud report. Even with evidence that WABBYS was fraudulent. This time they allowed us to file a fraud report for the DAYE TRAFFIC. We are also getting charged 9.95 for new cards. (Crappy bank)
Both cards were debit cards with the VISA logo. WABBYS was several charges of the same amount (4.95) and DAYE TRAFFIC was one charge (6.95).
I have an alert set up that goes to my cell phone to tell me of EVERY transaction that has taken place the moment it happens. I caught both transactions the moment they came through.
I have also sent this information to IC3, but local authorities will not take a report because of the amounts.  | |  | reply to MGD Here is a very interesting item. My Master Card was hit by IPS for $9.80 with a transaction date of 06/02 and a posted date of 06/02. What is so interesting about that you say? Well, that is the very next day after I signed up for credit monitoring with Equifax.
Related? Could be but the kicker is I did not use my credit card to sign up. I got a one year free deal because the HR department of the company I work for lost a lap top with personal information on lots of employees. I did not provide any credit card information to Equifax.
Kind of makes you hummmm...... | |  | reply to MGD A Little more info and a few questions.
The charge to my husband's card is one that is not used online EVER. Mine, however, is used mainly online. Yet both were snagged.
Also, has their been any investigation of the Hosting Company »www.jaguarpc.com/ as both WABBYS and DAYE TRAFFIC were hosted by them? Have they been contacted? I know the syndicate sets up the website, so obviously similar templates would be more often then not on the same host, but have they been contacted in regards to all of this?
On the DAYE TRAFFIC we have the information from whois as:
Gregory Lorsung () +1.2067707408 Fax: - 15113 Marseille Ave Bellevue, NE 68123 US
That is all well and good, but the phone number is a Seattle WA number.
(206) 770-7408 Type: Land Line Provider: Qwest Corporation Location: Seattle, WA
Funny that the nearest large city to Seattle is Bellevue, WA. Fitting that the towns are the same name.
What ever happened to arealhome?
I have to say THANK YOU for all the work you have done. I did not know this site was here before yesterday. I did a lot of research on my own, but had no idea what to do with it other than reporting to the IC3. I appreciate all the work you have done. If I can be of any assistance please let me know. | |  jimkyleBtrieve GuyPremium join:2002-10-20 Oklahoma City, OK kudos:2 Reviews:

I have also sent this information to IC3, but local authorities will not take a report because of the amounts. Do you have a local TV station with a "Consumer Help Line" feature? If you do, get in touch with them and make the point that your bank (name it, too) is charging you to recover from fraud, and the local authorities refuse to even take a report. Point them to this thread that shows this is a long-standing criminal operation raking in millions, five dollars at a time. If they put the story on the air, you're quite likely to get some favorable results!
EDIT: corrected typo. | |  | I have sent this information to the local news consumer watches. I have not heard anything back from them, except one that asked if I was filing into that class action suit against Certegy and if my identity had been stolen from that. I told them I did not know of a class action lawsuit and that I was not part of the case. I heard nothing after that.
As for the class action suit against Certegy, I am not sure if I am going to enter it yet. Yes our information is with Certegy (due to a series of checks that were writen after my box of new checks was stolen from the mailbox) but I am not sure I agree with the lawsuit or not. | |  | reply to MGD They are refining their tactics.

The Crime Syndicate's UK fraud operation uncovered ! The Crime Syndicate's UK fraud operation uncovered !
This discovery started to unfold over a month ago, and began from the results of the BestTech Solutions cyber-mule debriefing. As you may recall, he was greatly disturbed by the fraud revelation, because he had performed what he thought was good due diligence after the criminals responded to his careerbuilders.com resume. He was adamant that he had confirmed that they were a Microsoft certified partner, and he had found reliable references of their activities from internet searches. As it turned out, the criminals were masquerading as Effectivesoft.com, a software company based in Minsk, Belarus. The crime syndicate had set up numerous lookalike domains, and had multiple cloned copies of the real Effectivesoft.com's website.
Shortly thereafter aa419.org located a second fake recruiting company operating as "Infobite Software" pretending to be based in Warsaw, Poland. Infobite Software was masquerading as another software company Eleks Software, based in Lviv, Ukraine. Once again, the same modus operandi. They were hosting cloned copies of the real Eleks.com on various fraudulently registered domains such as: infobitesoft.com, infobitesoft.info, infobitecompany.com, e-infobite.net, infobiteonline.com, and infobiteonline.biz among others. There was a subsequent write up HERE of this botnet hosted fraud recruiting group. Some of the cyber-mule recruiting documents obtained from Infobite, were identical copies of the ones used to solicit the BestTech Solutions cyber-mule.
One trend noted in the Infobite job sites carpet bombing, was that they were also specifically targeting the UK:
 Infobite fraud jobs on Trovit
ref: »jobs.trovit.co.uk/jobs/infobite-···-_11t16o
An intensive cyber hunt was started to try and uncover the fruits of the cyber-mule recruiting program. Credit for that goes to mae_aa419 who located an entire group of related card fraud processing front sites, focused on the UK. The UK "Berry" Group" consisted of some 30 odd sites in various stages of operation, and were directly connected to the Infobite recruiting program:
 Cannydesign.com
 bbctemplates.com A behind the scenes operation was conducted in order to gather intelligence, more on that later. At the time no reports of card fraud charges were found. However, at the beginning of this week mae_aa419 picked up several signs that fraud charges were being processed. One victim had recently posted about a fraud charge from one of the known fraud domains cctemplates.net on digitalspy.co.uk
Just checked my online credit card transactions and on the 10th June at 5.07pm, a transaction of £9.90 was made to my credit card from "www.cctemplates.net".
However:
- From looking at the website they dont offer any service that I require, and - At that time on Tuesday I was sat in my car at home trying out a new iTrip I had bought.
Anyone know who they are, and if they offer other services apart from the one advertised on the website above? I have never ordered a bespoke logo, and nothing else comes to mind!
Cheers.
Another victim was charged for registering another of the UK fraud domains hephzitechdesign.com. Since a considerable amount of data had already been gathered, and there were now confirmed fraud charges, a decision was made to unmask this UK fraud operation and go public.

. Within hours, the criminals who already had been given a "heads up" by a well meaning poster on the digital Spy forum, who thought the OP was maligning the company by calling them a fraud, apparently began searching for other fraud references about their UK operation. The crime syndicate in an attempt to preserve the fraud operation, immediately began a campaign to reduce the search engine rankings of the fraud reports by posting comments on hundreds of forums and listing their domains:
 Hiding the fraud reports
 Altering search rankings
That is the tactic that the poster "Web Forum Mod" was referring to in the above post.
The crime syndicate's UK fraud division's modus operandi is a carbon copy of the US fraud operation. Documents recovered from the UK operation indicate that the criminals must have a large supply of UK card data. By their own estimates, even at twenty or so sites fully operational, they planned on fraudulently billing close to 1 million GBP a month, around 100,000 cards. That is just with the known "Berry" group, there could be others.
..... You have to talk to the bank's business manager, and he will put you through with the department that you need to work with to receive the E-commerce Merchant Account.
The important detail is that for the merchant account you will need Payment Gateway, so that the website and the merchant account might be integrated; Payment Gateway will be the virtual cash desk at the Internet store, it will be either the company Protx.com or the company SecPay.net
Below is the list of questions about a merchant account that your business manager can ask.
Your website : [url]www.REDACTED.com[/url] [It will be activated within the next few hours.]
Q: What is the supposed turnover per month? A: ~45.000GBP a month
Q: How many transactions will there be? A: ~4500 a month
Q: What is the cost of the product you sell? A: About 10GBP per one item
Q: What kind of merchandise are you intending to sell? A: We sell ready-to-go web designs (templates), logos for the websites and clip arts. . In addition to the search engine fraud hiding tactic, the criminals immediately pulled many of the sites from view, some give a 500 error. The only site that appears to be up now is Toyk Design Ltd AKA toytemplates.com. I will follow up with more posts on additional on information and specific details for the UK fraud operation.
Screen shots of the sites were taken at various times and are available HERE in slideshow mode, or you can select full resolution images.
