Porn Scammer Gets 11 Years In Jail

Porn Scammer Gets 11 Years In Jail 05/11/2004 12:17 PM
A scammer who signed up nearly a million credit card owners for his $20/month internet porn site (despite many of them never visiting or even knowing about the site) has been sentenced to 11 years in jail. The police are still trying to track down what happened to the nearly $40 million he got out of the scam in order to give it back to the victims (many of who will only get a portion of what they lost back). The article, though, indicates that he got the credit card info from a bank who sold him their database of credit card transactions for all of their merchant accounts for $5,000. Obviously the guy deserves to go to jail, but I want to know what happened to the bank (and its employees) that coughed up all these credit card details for the scammer.

Tracking Down A 419 Scammer

Tracking Down A 419 Scammer 11/06/2003 06:12 PM
There are a ton of folks who, when bored, have decided to mess with 419 Nigerian email scammers. They respond to one of the spams at random, and then either write up an article or an amusing webpage about the experience. That was interesting the first few times, but recently it's had a "been there, done that" feel to it. Now, a woman in Connecticut has gone one step further. Instead of just emailing with one of these scammers, she helped to get one arrested. Good for her. Maybe others will start doing the same thing, and it will help cut down on all those 419 scams. Of course, there are some risks involved, since Nigerian scammers are criminals and have been known to harm or even kill people. So, while it may sound like fun, it's probably not worth doing in all cases.

419 Scammer Charges Dropped

419 Scammer Charges Dropped 11/12/2003 03:18 PM
Last week we had the story of how a woman who received a 419 Nigerian scam email played along to try to track down the scammers. When someone was sent to her to pick up the money, he was arrested. As was pointed out at the time, it sounds as though this guy was just a courier and not the actual scammer - but, in theory should be able to help authorities find the real scammers. Instead, though, they've released him without any charges being filed - and without an explanation. The woman who set up the sting is furious and claims this is why such scams continue. Of course, if the guy really is just the courier there probably isn't too much they can charge him with. Even if they did charge him with some small crime for helping out, it wouldn't do much to stop the scam anyway. Perhaps, in releasing him, they're going to use him to get more information about the real scammers.

Alleged UK bank scammer still at large

Alleged UK bank scammer still at large 06/24/2005 06:55 PM

BANGALORE, INDIA - Karan Bahree, who allegedly sold information on U.K. bank accounts to a reporter from The Sun, remained at large a day after a news story appeared about him in the London tabloid.

The Sun reported Thursday that Bahree sold a reporter operating undercover information on 1,000 bank accounts. Bahree reportedly obtained the data from contacts at call centers in Delhi, where the information was sold. The Sun in its online edition, however, gave the name of the seller as Kkaran Bahree.

Police in Delhi say that they cannot make an arrest unless there is a formal complaint from either the call-center companies in India from where the information was allegedly stolen or from the affected banks or customers in the U.K. "As soon as we get a complaint, we will arrest him," said a police official on condition of anonymity. Police are conducting their own investigations, he added.

"From what I understand there has been no complaint registered with the police here, probably because investigations are still going on in the U.K.," said Kiran Karnik, president of the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM). " Until they have a complaint, the enforcement agencies haven't much to go by at this point."

NASSCOM announced Thursday that it would cooperate with law enforcement agencies in India and the U.K. to ensure that those responsible for any criminal breaches are promptly prosecuted and face the maximum penalty.

However, Bahree denied the allegations in an interview Thursday to BBC World Service radio, and said that he had given a CD to the undercover reporter at the request of another person, without knowing its contents.

Infinity eSearch, a Web services company in Gurgaon, near Delhi, where Bahree is employed, has distanced itself from its employee. Infinity does not have bank clients in the U.K., and does not handle financial information for its clients, Rahul Dutt, managing director of the company, told reporters Friday in Delhi.

Bahree has been with the company for three months and is still on probation, said Dutt, adding that Bahree had been asked to give an explanation about his alleged role in the scam by 5:30 p.m. Friday local time. Bahree, who was not in the office Friday, sent a written explanation before the deadline claiming, according to Infinity officials, that he gave The Sun reporter a CD at the insistence of a friend without knowing that it held classified contents.

Bahree was employed as a call-center worker by Daksh eServices Pvt. Ltd., a business process outsourcing company in Gurgaon from 2001 to January last year, before the company was acquired by IBM. He quit under normal circumstances, according to informed sources, who added that at the time he left Daksh the company was not offering financial services.
