On this episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian uses Spoofcard to get into the voicemail of her friend, Khloe’s boyfriend, basketball player Rashad McCants.

Kim, was able to uses Spoofcard to get into Rashad’s cell phone’s voicemail to see if there was anything worthy of confirming Khloe’s fears. Let’s just say that she ended up dumping the guy.

See this all unfold in the video below.

This is not a new trick.  Paris Hilton used the same method to get into Lindsay Lohan’s voicemail back in 2005.

If you watch the video above, you will see that they were able to use Spoofcard to get into his voicemail by entering the phone number you wish to call and then making the number which shows up on the caller id the same as the number being called.

The voicemail system will think that the call is being made from the cellphone handset based on the number passed over the caller id and pass you directly into the voicemail without verifying a passcode.

Have you ever wanted to get into someone’s voicemail without them knowing about it? 

You may want to listen to someone’s voicemail because you are suspicious of a rival, suspecting a lover of cheating on you, or just plain curious.

A service called SpoofCard allows you to change what a person sees on their caller id when they receive a phone call.   This SpoofCard service allows you to MAKE ANY PHONE NUMBER APPEAR on the caller id of the person that you are calling, CHANGE YOUR VOICE to sound like a man or a woman, digitally record your calls, and even GAIN ACCESS TO OTHER PEOPLE’S VOICEMAIL!

GET INTO VOICEMAIL BOXES

If you want to get into someone’s voicemail with SpoofCard simply enter their phone number as the number you wish to call and provide the exact same number as the number you wish to appear on the caller id.

This SpoofCard trick works especially well on cellphone voicemail systems. I have found that AT&T, Sprint, Boost Mobile, Cingular Wireless, and T-Mobile USA telephone networks use Caller ID to identify voicemail users without requiring passwords. So users on these networks are totally vulnerable to this trick.

There was even an article two years ago talking about how Paris Hilton got into trouble for using SpoofCard to break into Lindsay Lohan’s voicemail. Paris also used SpoofCard to make harassing calls and made them appear to be made from Lindsay’s cellphone.

Don’t you hate getting calls with blocked Caller ID?

I do! 

However now there is a brand new service which unmasks blocked calls so you will always know who is calling you!  This service is called TrapCall and it’s the worlds first cell phone service to unmask blocked calls.

TrapCall.com was officially launched today and I wanted to let you be the first to know about it!

TrapCall is incredibly simple to use and setup. No messy software downloads or installs required, and it works on all cell phones with most providers. You just key a few numbers into your cell phone and TrapCall’s ready. So, if you’ve got fingers your good to go! (For those of you without fingers, just ask a buddy to help out!)

Along with Caller ID unmasking, TrapCall also has advanced premium features, like incoming call recording (another first!), voicemail transcriptions, selective number blocking (we play them a disconnected number notice!), Caller ID Name, and more!

Did we also mention that TrapCall is FREE?

To get started using TrapCall, just visit: TrapCall.com.

Wired.com broke the news about the TrapCall launch last night! You can read the article at: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2009/02/trapcall.html.

I just tried it out and it works great!

What is does is when someone calls you with a blocked number first forwards the number to be unblocked to an 800 number and then forwards the call back to you with the number exposed.  At this point you can send them to voice mail if you don’t want to answer the call.

It was very easy to disable the feature as well, it varies per carrier. Just look on your trapcall account on how to disable it if you don’t want to use it.

The iPhone is now one of the hottest new phones available today. It is one of Apple’s new top selling products which has greatly increased both their marketshare and stock prices. There are many great uses for iPhones which surpass all other cellphones out there: they are great for listening to music, searching the internet, viewing high-resolution graphics, and most recently viewing porn.

The technological feats of the new iPhones are key to the porn industry. The large high-resolution screen size, speedy Web access, and ease of use make the iPhone more than ideal for looking at porn. The device’s miniaturized version of Apple’s Safari software simplifies mobile access and streamlines the process of tailoring dirty sites for optimal viewing on the go.

“It’s by far the porn-friendliest phone,” says Devan Cypher, representative for San Francisco–based Sin City Entertainment. As evidence of the gadget’s rocketing popularity in California’s porn capital, the San Fernando Valley, numerous iPhone-specific porn sites have been launched in recent months. “There are a few hundred iPhone porn sites now in use,” says Farley Cahen, vice president of business development for AVN Media Network, the adult industry’s trade body. Many others are currently in the works targeting the iPhone 2.0, which goes on sale July 11.

Several leading porn players are getting ready for the 2.0 version of the Apple iPhone. Among them are Penthouse.com, Digital Playground, Pink Visual, and many others. The speed promised by the iPhone 2.0 is much anticipated. Google Trends, which measures Web buzz, shows a sharp increase over the past year in the popularity of the term “iPhone porn.”

Apple spokeswoman Jennifer Bowcock says the company doesn’t condone iPhone porn and will ban adult content from official applications, just as it has restricted adult content in the podcast section of the Apple store. But in no way can it prevent customers from accessing porn through the device’s browser.

The industry sees the iPhone 2.0 as having multiple advantages over the first model. For one thing, Apple’s new gadget is nearly twice as fast as its predecessor at loading Web pages, and even faster at running video, which is crucial for the porn industry. About a third of iPhone users watch video on their phone, according to Nielsen Mobile, which is nearly 10 times the number that watch video on other cell phones. Three out of four iPhone users are men with above-average incomes, and iPhone users spend heavily on entertainment. More than a third of iPhone users shell out more than $100 on phone and data charges every month, as compared with just one-fifth of other cell-phone users.

In 2007, the international market for mobile adult content reached $1.7 billion, according to Juniper, but they also estimate that this market will grow to around $13 billion a year after the 2.0 version of the iPhone hits the market.

Want to know if someone is lying to you over the telephone? Great News! There is a new phone card out there called LiarCard made by the same folks that brought you SpoofCard.

This service uses the most advanced voice analysis polygraph technology for personal use available today, accessible from any phone.

LiarCard “listens” to the millisecond changes that occur in the human voice when a sudden process starts in the brain and extract some of the attention needed to process the words.

Unlike other voice stress analysis technologies, LiarCard can analyze different layers in the voice while providing an in-depth view into the subject’s range of emotions.

LiarCard can detect if your subject is excited, confused, stressed, unwillingly sharing information, concentrated, anticipating your responses and even if your friend really likes you… it can also tell when a person is lying with a proven 95% accuracy rate!

LiarCard has over a 95% accuracy rate and uses the same technology developed by the Israeli Intelligence Agency. This was demonstrated on the hit MTV show, Exposed!

LiarCard is easy to use:

- Dial the toll-free access number provided to you.
- Input your personal PIN.
- Input the destination phone number of the party to be analyzed.

Once your call begins, you’ll be able to engage in a natural conversation without the need to ask direct questions like “are you lying?”, remember it’s not what is said, but how it’s said that matters.

During the call, a heartbeat pulse is played in the background which only you will hear. When the called party is stressed about what is said then you’ll hear it beat quicker and then slow down again if they’re being truthful. A buzz is played when the called party is suspected of not telling the truth or is in an extreme state of mind. There is also a web interface which you can watch while you are talking to your subject as seen below.

While on the phone with your subject, sign in to your web-based dashboard to watch the truth indicator move as your subject is speaking.

All calls used by this service are automatically recorded. You can log into the web interface at anytime in the future and review your calls and review the graph as the person speaks to determine exactly when they were lying!

LiarCard sells 30 minute cards for only $10. They also offer a FREE trial call on their site to prove that their service actually works.

I tried out the service and was totally impressed. It’s well worth the cost and this will definitely be helpful in the future.

Just think how much better off you might if you could find out if a particular person was lying to you about something. This card allows you to know the truth! It gives you a certain piece of mind that you can’t get else where!

Back in the 1980s local telephone carriers across the country set aside the telephone prefix, 976, so that companies and individuals could set up premium phone services where they could charge a high per-minute or per-call rate to anyone calling into these numbers.  

These 976 numbers are exactly like 1-900 numbers except they are generally limited to the local calling area.  So unlike 1-900 numbers which are national these 976 numbers only work within the same area code.  

However these 976 numbers have a big advantage over 1-900 numbers.  The 976 numbers are one easier to dial than 1-900 numbers (both intentionally and accidentally), less people know about 976 numbers and thus don’t realize that they will be charged when they call these numbers, and these 976 numbers appear no different than normal residential or business phone numbers.

So get a 976 number and NOT a 1-900 number, this scam won’t work well with a 1-900 number, but it works great with a 976 number.

Only Still Available in Certain Areas

In some areas 976 numbers are no longer available and have been completely replaced by 1-900 numbers, however these 976 numbers are still available in many local areas.

On the west coast, the 976 service is operated by SBC/Pacific Bell/AT&T Telephone and is known as a ‘local 900 service’.  This service is only offered within the state of California and to California callers.  There is a similar 976 service available in Nevada through Nevada Bell/AT&T Telephone.

In the mid-west, SBC (formerly Ameritech) offers 976 services in Chicago and Detroit.

On the east coast, Verizon operates ‘976′ in a variety of markets. In New York city, Verizon quit the market and ‘976′ transport and billing are operated by smaller private companies in New York Cities.

In the Mid-Atlantic area , Verizon has received permission for the Public Services Commission to cease taking new customers after October 18, 2004. Verizon plans to close 976 operations in Washington, DC and baltimore, MD in June 2005, and in Philadelphia, PA and Pittsburgh, PA in 2006.

Setup the 976 Service

You will need to contact one of the phone companies above and request a 976 number from them.  Setting up this service is no different from setting up a second telephone line.  There is no special equipment required.  It’s normal have a one-time setup fee of around $59-79 depending on your local company and a monthly fee of around $49 which will also give you unlimited local calls.  The charges don’t stop there, they generally also charge you one-third of any of the money that you make from the incoming calls.

Setting up the Per-Call Fees

I prefer charging my callers a per-call fee rather than a per-minute charge.  You need to keep the per-call fee lower than $2 per call.   This is important, don’t be greedy. 

The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) requires all 1-900 numbers and 976 numbers which charge more than $2 per-call to provide a free 20-second message at the beginning of the call describing the service, the name of the company providing the service, and the cost of the call. It also must state that anyone under age 18 needs parental permission to complete the call.  You cannot start charging until 3 seconds after this message has been completed, which would bot call your bluff and give them plenty of opportunity to hang up.

But if you charge under $2 per call you are NOT required to provide this message and can immediately charge them as soon as the connection is made.  I would charge them $1.99 per-call to keep it just under $2 to be safe.  Also people are not likely to dispute or even notice a small charge of $1.99 on their phone bill because it is so small. 

Since you are only charging $1.99 per call you will need a high volume of callers to make it worth your wild.

Getting Tons of Callers

There are three easy ways to get callers.

1) Call up people and hang up or make a prank call.  Most people nowadays have caller id so make sure that your number is not blocked and many of these people will return the call without even thinking about it to see who just called them.  Each of them will be charged $1.99 per-call.

2) Get the yellow pages and call businesses such as doctors offices, dentists, and other businesses after business hours.  You will reach their voicemail, answering machines, or answering services.  Leave them a voice message asking them to return your call and give them your 976 number.  You will be surprised how many of them actually do return your call without even thinking about it.

3) Page or text people and ask them to call you at this number.  Some websites offer text spoofing so you can make it seem like the text messages are being sent from this 976 number causing them to assume that it’s just a cell phone number.

Provide a Service

To meet FTC regulations you must provide some sort of service.  You don’t have to go into details about it or the charges since you are charging less than $2 a call, but you must provide something to them.  I would suggest setting up a simple recorded message on an answering machine giving them useless information or either their daily horoscope, any local auto auctions, or on local real estate.  It can be anything, but you need to provide them with something to stay within FTC guidelines - even though most people will just immediately hang up.

How Much Can You Make

For example if you get 1000 callers in a month, you will get a revenue of $1990 and then the phone company will charge you $670 (one-third of your billings) for the service and a $49 monthly fee.  So you will make a profit of $1271 per thousand callers.  Not bad at all!

So 2000 callers will make you a profit of $2542 and 5000 callers will make you $6355.  So you can make quite a bit from this if you get enough callers.  The cool thing is that you leave voice messages for people to call this 976 number from any phone and it doesn’t have to be from the actual 976 number.

This scheme works really well and it can make great money for you if you pull it off correctly.

Here’s a quick trick to make a few extra dollars by harvesting money from pay phones.  

Find a traditional pay phone like the one pictured above, try to gain access to the phone wiring either through the plastic shroud running down the wall, the junction box, or through the telephone enclosure.   There are two sets of wires coming out the back of the pay phone enclosed in a black insulated casing. 

If you strip the black insulation away from these wires.  You will see four colored wires.  The regular telephone operations are handled by the green wire, “tip”, (electrically positive) and red wire, “ring”, (electrically negative).   The coin mechanism relays and solenoids are powered by the yellow and black wires.

Find a section of the wire where a cut will not be easily seen from outside the telephone box.  Strip off the black insulation off the cord, exposing all four wires. Now cut the black and yellow wires but leave the other two wires intact.  This will disable the coin mechanism, but the phone itself will still be completely functional.

Now conceal the wiring that you cut either by tucking it back into the telephone enclosure and concealing them or by closing the actual telephone box.

Now leave the phone and people will come by and use the phone.  What will happen?  Well, when they put money into the pay phone, it will stay in the coin mechanism until 1 of 2 things happen.

1. They connect their call, talk, and then hangup.  After they hangup, their money goes from the coin mechanism into the collection box.
2. They call a number that doesn’t answer, or get busy signal, or terminate the call before anyone answers, and then hangup. When they hangup, the money goes from the coin mechanism to the coin return.

However, since the black and yellow wires have been cut the coin mechanism is disabled so the money does not go to the coin collection box or the coin return, it just remains in the coin mechanism area.

All you do now is come back a few hours or days later and re-connect the black and yellow wires, pick up the handset and then hang it up.  All the money that was put into the phone that day comes shooting out the coin return.  It’s not unusual to collect between $10-15 per busy pay phone using this method.

I would suggest doing this during the weekend especially on Sunday because some people will call the operator and tell them that the phone took their money and they will dispatch repair people.  I would guess that these repair people work less on the weekends so the phone would most likely not be fixed until Monday.

This trick can only be used to make some extra change, it won’t make you rich or provide any sort of reoccurring income like some of my other scams that I have talked about previously, but it’s a neat little trick.
