Looks like SIP scanning/spamming/toll fraud attack. You could tweak your
Asterisk configuration to not allow any other un-authenticated inbound
calls than from your SIP trunk provider and/or add some further security
controls to prevent such things.

Here is a report from someone who had a similar experience:

There are also some ideas on how to block such calls. Some are good,
some may not make sense to everyone.
