Spoof your way to jail
By Bulletz. Filed in Computer Tech, Privacy, Review, Safety |
There is a new menace in town and it’s called SpoofCard. Recently I have been introduced to www.SpoofCard.com. It is a website that allows people to pretend to be someone else on the phone. You can change the caller ID display to say whatever you want, change your voice to sound like another person, and record your phone calls.
In some instances, phone call recording is a good thing BUT all these features that are made out for fun can be abused just as easily. You don’t even need a computer to use the service. You can just dial the 1-800 number, put in your information, set up your call, and away you go.
Two main points:
1.You have to buy a calling card from them in order to use the service.
2.Recording phone calls and changing your voice is free.
It’s a great way to get yourself thrown in jail.

The first service that offered this commercially was US Tracers… in 1999.
Star38 made it popular in 2004. Since then, many “call-bridging” services have popped up offering this.
