For inbound spam/robocall blocking, we use a reputation score threshold from the common vendors to determine whether a given call should be marked as just ?spammy? or rather blocked entirely. As of late, we?re receiving more and more complaints of inbound calls being blocked due to VERY bad reputations (i.e. 100 out of 100). In most/all cases, the callers are large organizations? hospitals, pharmacies, insurance companies, etc. It appears many of the large companies haven?t bothered to SHAKEN sign their calls nor manage their reputations via https://calleridreputation.com, https://calltransparency.com, etc. Many use a single TN for all their outbound calls. ;-( Our strong suspicion is that because large carriers have whitelisted the calling TNs and the importance of valid calls, spoofers are hot to use them and the reputation databases reflect that. Problem for us, of course, is that our customers want to receive calls from the real organizations but we have no way of determining which calls are real and which are not. Only the TN reputation score from industry databases and call headers are available. Just curious what others are doing and seeing ?in the wild?. Is playing the whack-a-mole whitelisting game really the best solution? An alternative idea of letting all bad reputation calls through and simply marking them as ?spammy?, regardless of score, seems like a cop-out. -Joel *Joel Stalder* *Director, North American Network Operations* *+1.408.400.3830* [image: Panterra_newest_logo150] *"The Unified Cloud Service Provider"*
