A Spoofcard is an inexpensive way to call someone else while having your caller ID number disguised as any number you want. It even lets you disguise your voice. It sells its services under the slogan “Be who you want to be,” and advertises itself as a tool to protect your privacy. It costs about 20 cents per use.

The reality is that Spoofcard is not a new service, it has been around for years. Spoofcard already has dedicated mobile apps for the iPhone, Blackberry and Android phones that let you use the service directly from your handset without even having to dial in first. Spoofcard will even work with international phone numbers.

Instances of maliciously using SpoofCard have started to pop up in the press. First it was reported that celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton had their phones hacked. Brickhouse Security reports that Dolce and Gabbana Publicity Director Ali Wise was fired from her job after she used SpoofCard to hack into people’s phones more than 700 times.
