Pirated VOIP software circulating
Jerasoft Development, a VOIP billing software developer, warns that fraudulent third-party companies have been spreading pirate beta-version of Billbery 3.0.5, states i-Newswire.
The pre-release software was issued by Jerasoft Development for testing but wasn't intended for sales or distribution.
The company warns that fraudsters usually contact potential customers from free e-mail services such as Gmail and Hotmail and once they receive payments for the pirated software they disappear.
