Anyone feel like constructing a brief summary with appropriate links and sending it to all the right people in the scammer's town, like the churches, store owners, government officials, local police, local groups and organizations, etc... We may get lucky and people who personally know the scammer will find out. People that the scammer wouldn't want to know like family.
Phishing is a huge industry in Eastern Europe, especially Romania.
Only in the non-EU part.

When the police are corrupt

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).

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.
Ah... But this might irritate him even more than possible illumination by legal authorities. There's nothing a low-life hates more than having to share his/her/its loot. 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.

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.

As for family - they definitely know. Mom and dad tend to put 2 and 2 together when Junior is bringing in $5k a week.

Re: Ebay Phisher, Meet and Greet !!

great thread. I have enjoyed reading all of this. Keep up the fight.

Amazing, a criminal would have such personal info about himself online, but I am sure there are others like him. Sheesh.

I passed this information to the head of thr Romanian National Police at the Southeast European Cooperative Initative, SECI Center in Bucharest, Romania.
Obviously everyone's goal is to wipe out scammers, and if that happens, awesome. By turning up the heat and letting them know eyes are everywhere, watching keystrokes, tracking them relentlessly I am content knowing that in the interim where they thought they had a free ride they are now (if they have any brains at all) beginning to perspire.

After all....
August 21 2006

Romanian police arrested 23 people in the southern city of Pitesti as part of a clampdown on internet scam rings operating in the eastern European country.

The arrested individuals are among a group of 63 suspects wanted for questioning over allegations they ripped off in excess of $120,000 from 120 foreign marks.

FBI and US officials assisted in the investigation that culminated in the recent arrests, local police said on Saturday.

If convicted, the suspects face up to 15 years imprisonment for ID theft offences.

London - Three Romanian fraudsters have been jailed on Friday in London for their part in a worldwide fraud scam carried out via Internet auction house eBay, which netted at least £300 000 (about R35,7-million).

A group of financial fraudsters stealing money from US citizens’ accounts has been arrested in Moscow. The criminals were stealing money through ATMs.

Spokespeople for US police addressed to the Moscow Interior Affairs Department for Struggle Against Economic Crimes several months ago. US officials said that someone was regularly stealing money from credit cards belonging to US citizens. The money, the officials said, was cashed from Moscow ATMs. They added that the credit card holders had never visited Russia before.

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.

She would wet her panties if the Police picked her up at her apartment and took her in shackles to be extradited that same hour to the US for trial, conviction, sentencing and immediate Prison time. Then in 10 or 20 years, send her back to Romania on a slow China boat.

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 ???

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.

I will agree however, that Mr. Borcila Andra is not in any danger of winning the "Smartest Criminal of the year" award !.

That's too damn funny. Excellent!! Scared the male out of him and she lost her jewels.....

Keep up the Great Work!!!
