FBI warned the public about a new kind of theft or rather a telephony scam which can use a VOIP account,
the name given to this by FBI is: TDOS = telephony denial-of–service,
The danger in this fraud is that the phone networks could not detect this kind of cheating before the things really get out of controll, if you receive a good chunk of cold calls on your landline phone or cellular phone, than it could lead and end up to TDOS (telephony denial-of–service) which may snoop your bank account or online trading account and such financial data etc so please beware but do not get into the panic,
