Has anyone had any experience receiving hung up phone calls from 02
8002 2700 on fixed line phones. I have just received 2 in the past
half hour. The calls must ring about 3-4 time in total, but the delay
in my Asterisk system means that the extension only rings once. I
can't find any reference in my reverse number lookup facility and
Google presents nothing. I suspect it might be similar to the scam
that was attacking mobile phone, but this time it attacks fixed lines.
Could be one of these indian call centres that pre-ring and put you on
hold and make you wait with music till they talk. It's like ringing you
in advance as they get so many hangups.
Also there was a scam where someone claims to be from Telstra, a techo,
and asks you to dial in #something and then they can make international
calls for free from your number.
Probably Asterisk is doing a good job filtering this out...
