Just got hit with a new attack vector
by RDawson＠alliedtelecom.net Nov. 18, 2012

Nov. 18, 2012

User mailbox was compromised. The attacker called into the extension and left a voicemail while spoofing the number they wanted to call, then called back, logged into the mailbox, retrieved the message, and used the "Callback Caller" option from the playback menu to originate a call back to the spoofed number. I disabled the option in the voice portal to mitigate further attacks. Figured it would be worth sharing.

Need help with an 800 number that's been stolen from under us
by d＠d-man.org Nov. 12, 2012

Nov. 12, 2012

Hi folks, We have an interesting situation going on here. We had an 888 number through a company named iCall (who, in turn, was using Global Crossing for actual routing of the calls). That 888 number suddenly started going to a disconnect recording stating that the number was an out-of-service number at "CallSource." Sure enough, the RespOrg for this number had changed to CallSource. We believe we are the rightful owners of this number as we purchased it through iCall's carrier division and have owned the number for over a year. However, when we contacted the CallSource firm the guy on the line, Todd Geller, who says he is the CEO and owner of the company, claimed to have sourced 10,000 toll-free numbers from 8MS (CSF Corporation) and this was one of them. He claimed he was happy to "give it back" but needed to confirm it was really ours. He then demanded something in writing on company letterhead showing proof of ownership, stating that two people had requested the number back (us and iCall). We're not sure what to provide him, all we have is screenshots of our billing system through iCall and business cards from the company who uses the number showing they, infact, use it. Anyway, I feel like I am being a bit scammed because at one point during the conversation with Todd he stated he would be happy to sell me the number back for just 9.9 cents/minute? [sigh] So we are unsure how to legally win back this number and what to do about it. We can show our account in good standing on the iCall website with this number still in our inventory. iCall is a registered CLEC out of Texas and has a RespOrg of their own which is still valid. The number was held and routed via Global Crossing, though. We also know, from Todd's account, that he has no active customers utilizing the number at this time and, again, he said he just wants this situation resolved and over with and doesn't want to deal with it anymore. If you have any insight or know anyone who can assist with this mess, please let me know. I've never heard of this issue before and am a bit baffled that an upstanding citizen wouldn't just realize this was a clerical or administrative error of some sort and release the number back to their rightful owner, but I think this guy is playing games, though I can't tell, as he appears nice enough on the phone. Specifically, if you have a contact at CSF Corporation who is higher up, I'd be appreciative. I have also heard of NASC'ing the number back. If you're familiar with this process, please feel free to email me off-list. Thanks, Darren Schreiber

Oops ? correction on my last post, Todd Geller did not say he was CEO/Owner at CallSource, for the record :-) My notes were wrong. Anyway, I already got a few responses from some of you. Gotta love this list. Thank you guys, very helpful to get some straight facts from people in the know when odd situations come up. Thanks again, Darren Schreiber

Need some assistance...
by darren＠2600hz.com Nov. 9, 2012

Nov. 9, 2012

We are trying to acquire some numbers that are in XO's Inventory but none of the aggregators we work with resell XO Services. Thought I would ask here. This would be a one-time deal I suspect so you'd probably make a quick fee off me for your efforts. The issue is lame ? the provider we worked with who sold us these numbers went bankrupt without telling us, and now the numbers (which were active) went back into inventory. We need to grab them back before they disappear. Please email me off-list. Thanks, Darren

Nov. 9, 2012

I have a partner company in the UK that wants to trunk to my network in the US to bypass international call charges for his UK users. This is simple to do, but i'm wondering if there are any FCC regs on bypassing PSTN carriers. Hope there is enough information here for an answer. thx shri

Strange calling patterns
by ryandelgrosso＠gmail.com Nov. 7, 2012

Nov. 7, 2012

All, So I know with the election tomorrow all bets are basically off for weird calling patterns but I have seen some really strange stuff today and was hoping someone else might have seen it as well or be able to validate some theories. I had a number in a Michigan exchange receive 99,000 inbound calls in a single hour (no that is actually ninety nine thousand) and that user had their number forwarded off to another overloaded Michigan exchange so it generated nearly a million outbound call attempts as my system attempted to find an open trunk to get through. Earlier I had a similar case with a Florida exchange where a single user received 150,000 calls in an hour all with invalid source numbers, and all arrived through otherwise reputable origination carriers (L3, Paetec etc). The commonality here is that in both cases the customer account had no registered device and had forwarding setup, and the destination for both was an overloaded exchange in a swing state. In all cases I have suspended the accounts and stopped the traffic but it still doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. My first inclination is this feels like some kind of DDOS to hurt polling or last minute campaigning since if the attempts were legitimate they wouldn't be winning supporters by calling them 150,000 times but im really open to ideas here. Anyone out there with some experience or theories, feel free to chime in or reply off list if paranoid. -Ryan
