[asterisk-biz] VOIP ITSP warning

[Tom Lynn]

Well, for what it's worth, I came home today after being in the hospital for
4 days and found Paypal had closed down my account because of a suspicious
transaction for $250.

It was marked Voipjet.  So, it's certainly not just Kim that has had this
happen.  Whether or not it's really Voipjet or someone posing as Voipjet
remains to be seen.

I'm not posting this to corroborate Kim's experience.  Rather, I want people
knowing there may be an issue with scammers posing as ITSPs.

Best to all

Tom
