Cops Pull Plug on Rent-a-Fraudster Service for Bank Thieves

Two Belarusian nationals suspected of operating a rent-a-fraudster service for bank and identity thieves have been arrested overseas, according to New York authorities, who unsealed an indictment for one of the suspects on Monday. Dmitry Naskovets, 25, and Sergey Semashko, 25, are suspected of creating and operating CallService.biz, a Russian-language site for identity criminals who trafficked in stolen bank-account data and other information. The website displayed an FBI logo Monday and the message, "This domain has been seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” Naskovets has been charged in U.S. District Court for Southern New York with one count each of aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and credit card fraud. Semashko has been charged by Belarusian authorities. Posted in: Check Fraud
