[asterisk-biz] More re VoIP Fraud

[Frank]

Edwin Andres Pena charged customers more than $1 million to route calls for
them, according to FBI complaints made public with Pena's arrest in Florida.

Pena paid $20,000 to hacker Robert Moore, of Spokane, Wash., according to
court papers.

At least 15 Internet phone companies were victimized, with one suffering as
much as $300,000 in lost fees, prosecutors said.

Pena allegedly was able to secretly route 500,000 calls through a
Newark-based provider identified in the complaint as "N.T.P.," which appears
to be Net2Phone. Messages seeking comment from the company, and its
corporate parent, IDT Corp., were not immediately returned Wednesday.
