Something something (I can't catch it properly) for your happiness/fortune.” 这里是中国使馆,你用一分钟快填领取，深有可有一问，请打零，something为你福。 I’m sure there is a native Chinese speaker on this list that can translate it better than me… From: AusNOG [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Robert Haylock Sent: Friday, 27 October 2017 11:40 AM To: Andrew Yager Cc: ausnog mailing list Subject: Re: [AusNOG] High number of inbound automated Chinese language calls on AAPT CTS Just got one myself to my personal MyNetFone VoIP! at least now I know what it is without asking for someone to translate... so sad for those who fall for the trap though :( Rob On 27 October 2017 at 13:54, Andrew Yager <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Matt, We have seen multiple instances of this over the last couple of months to different number blocks. It's usually a Mandarin message claiming to be from the ATO. Have logged a few complaints on a few of them; have not got anywhere useful because each number is called "once" and doesn't meet the threshold for a nuisance claim. If any of my upstreams want to care though… I'm happy to provide more details… :) (nudge… nudge…) Andrew On 27 October 2017 at 13:34, Matt Perkins <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Here's some Friday fun. Are there any people with AAPT CTS that are receiving very high volumes (500 an hour) of a Chinese language automated message. Numbers dialed in appear to be random within a routed ranges they also appear to be using random calling id's some start with 028009XX. Im told that the message says it's from the Chinese consulate and ask you to push zero. I suspect they are trying to determine which numbers have Chinese language speakers answer for some later scam. But only appears to be on AAPT CTS. We have CTS with a few other carriers and seeing nothing on those inbound. Interested to see if others are receiving same.
