I only see 1 carrier with this route as of today in all of our decks. Looking back through the past month or so of traffic, I can't find any attempts to this prefix.. A quick google of it seems to show a lot of scams calling from this prefix anyway. On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 11:33 AM, Ryan Delgrosso <ryandelgrosso at gmail.com> wrote:
All, We have seen a Caribbean NPANXX (1-268-762) advertised to us from a US tier 1 vendor. It has drawn a large amount of fraudulent traffic.
We first saw this prefix pop up in this vendors rate decks in April. Going back to the start of the year I cannot find it in any revision of the LERG though, and no other vendor I have offers routes/pricing to this prefix.
Does anybody know whats going on here?
Shouldn't any zone 1 prefix exist in the LERG months prior to going live, or at the very least within some reasonable time after showing up for live traffic?
Does this smell like highjacking to anyone else?
All our vendor will tell is they are getting the route from another T1 vendor, but in my 20+ connected peers I cannot find another occurrence.
Any help or guidance is much appreciated. Feel free to reply on or off list.
