Phone verification means nothing; not with Skype. They could easily get a phone-number in the location that their card states; and go from there.

Sure they could but most are not that smart. Also you can normally tell a VoIP line from a normal once, also you can get an idea of the age and motivations of the person by talking to them, thats why i think auto matric verification sucks need a human. Also if they are going to be a big customer they should have some questions for you.

As always its just part of a number of layers of protection. Phone verification on its own wont stop all your fraud orders. In order to buy a dial in number from skype they need a credit card and have to provide an address so its another dangerous step for a potential fraudster.

If they have a frauded CC in the first place; how would it be hard to use the frauded CC to get a skype number?

Not that hard.

Skype is a free service and anyone who is smart enough (going back to HostByNet's point) can subscribe for the $4/mo or whatever it is. And as Skylar said, the thing about skype is that you get so technical you could choose an area code and a number that co-insides with the fraudelent address you provide the host which gives the host alot of work to detect the fraud.
