the "microsoft scam calls". Do you have some statistics for us?

Hi, You are probably familiar with the Microsoft scam calls. I am part of the Honeynet Project and we are actively tracking these guys. If you have any information about it, please let me know. It would be great if you could give us some statistics on the following Number of calls with CallerID 3581256789999 (probably fake, but they use the same..) Approx number of numbers you have in your range (and geographical location) Number which answered and the length of the calls (if you can provide this as well) Here are some statistics about the MS scam calls so far from another provider: They had 10396 tries, where 9363 the phone rang (was online) in 7 days of those 5853 did not answer (called for 60 seconds) 3510 answered the call (approx 35% !!) 92% had less than 1 min call duration 96% had less than 2 min call duration 98% had less than 3 min call duration High talkers (seconds): 1127 1257 1406 1489 1620 2005 2473 2661 3661 3954 4296 5201 5813 6033 which means that probably 8-9 customers got frauded... in one week... -- Regards Sjur Eivind Usken +47 96999902

I didn't see anything in a quick glance on ours, but it might be easiest if you get the LEC to trace down where the call came from (they can tell the IXC), and trace through that route. -Aaron On 1/28/2013 1:56 AM, Sjur Eivind Usken wrote:
