This weekend a bunch of people with fraudulent credit cards hit my
business
and set up a bunch of forwarding to +44 70x numbers. Not having done
much
work in the UK yet, I didn't know what these were until I read this:
http://www.joewein.de/sw/419-phone-uk.htm#phone-uk
"Most "419" scams using +44 70xx numbers involve emails that are sent
from Nigeria and other West African countries, not from the UK! If you
see a +44 70xx number in a 419 scam email it usually means you're
dealing
with criminals based in Nigeria."
When I tried it in Skype, skype also blocked the 44 70x number.
Do most ITSPs block +44 70x? Are there other numbers like this that
should
be blocked? Is it only ITSPs that block it, where traditional telephony
companies are simply more than happy to connect your call? Are ITSPs
here
to provide dial-tone and connectivity regardless of how good or bad the
call might be?
