First let me tell you that voip fraud is still going on, we see problems with providers every week, and some go belly up pretty fast.
The old rent an ilec in africa style is till going strong, and therefore we must prevent.
Here is the idea.
We create an API , or Web portal , that would accept input (DID,Reason,Flag) and serve a list.
This list would be a SOF (Suspicion of fraud) list in either txt,xml or both for you to download.
Think of this as DNS black holes for the Domain name management but for DID's
Then you would use this list as you see fit..
I would suggest a basic EXTEN,s,hangup() on these full numbers.
its better to get a call on 1 problematic number from a client then get a call by some upstream for 50,000 minutes @ .80 cents a user dialed.
We know there are ways to limit the fraudsers, they are also monitoring this list, are comfortable with asterisk and networks,
We just got one that had a VERIFIED Paypal login ( phishing ?) , he had the ip in same city as original user (proxy) , he used asterisk hacks n tips to autodial randomly without triggering any big flags till we saw egypt in the destination.
now We all know that paypal are not as easy to getverified as they used to , so if one can do it , imagine with a flat merchant account.
So anyhow this service would be free...
The only thing i see we would need is basically input from you guys.
you could pull from agi, manually, or simply paste in the portal.
PS. we know we talked about something similar in the past, but that casued a credi car dinfo problematic. this system would just deal with DID's and reasons.
How does it sound ? ..
