What does the "International Revenue Fraud Number Database" on cfa.orgcontain? I agree it's tricky to block based on hosts, you hit one and the others start popping up. -- Christopher Aloi -- ctaloi at gmail.com On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 4:17 PM, Jim Dalton <jim.dalton at transnexus.com>wrote:
One option maybe to cooperate with the Communications Fraud Control Association (www.cfca.org). They do vet their members, but they do not have a mailing list. The association also has an annual membership fee.

Indeed which is why I stated:
1) Private mailing list - to prevent talks from being seen
2) NON freemail addresses - easier to establish that this individual works for this company, therefore its highly unlikely he is going to throw himself, and or his company, under the bus passing bogus information.
The "private mailing list" is not to try to start some secret club, VoIP Gestapo. It is merely to be able to share data, methods, etc., with other peers in an effort to keep our networks from piping out 100s of thousands of dollars in toll fraud. PERIOD. ANYONE is open to participate, with the clause that we want to, and NEED to be able to trust data. Otherwise it will never work.
I will re-think this over the weekend and have a take two. I think it could, and would work. I do also believe that there are likely individuals even on this list, that would not like the idea much, so hosting decisions need be met, etc., in order to keep away DDoS attacks, reputation based attacks, and so forth. That's my train of thought though.
