• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

ID fraud website shut down

A "significant" branch of virtual criminals has been put out of operation following the closure of an illegal website selling personal data, the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) has said.

The Darkmarket (my edit: guess thats the new name for the blackmarket :rolleyes:) forum, an international website which enabled fraudsters to buy and sell credit card details, was shut down on Thursday night.

It allowed criminals to exchange information about how to commit online fraud as well as offering details contained on the magnetic information strips on the back of credit cards.

Sixty people across the globe have been arrested in connection with the website, including arrests in Leicester, Manchester, Humberside, South Yorkshire and London.
