Huge increase of scam calls?
Our customers are reporting a very large increase in spam/scam calls in the last week or so. Anyone else seeing the same? Any idea why? One number I tracked is getting nearly 50 per day. All fake caller ID of course.
Yup, have seen the same.? Probably trying to "get in while the gettin' is good" before S&S starts killing that stuff off. On 2/26/2021 12:47 PM, Carlos Alvarez wrote:

My volume has been about the same - 3-5 per day - to both mobile and business number. 100% Onvoy blocks on the caller ID, all day, every day. On 2/26/21 3:47 PM, Carlos Alvarez wrote:

PS. I generated a list of Onvoy blocks from their OCNs in every LATA and blocked them all on my business number for a while, which led to a 100% decrease in spam calls. The problem is, legitimate VoIP providers use them for origination too, of course. Otherwise, they seem to be the herpes of the PSTN. -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/
