Mary Lou, Are you referring to the super sketchy voip providers who list a US address but in reality are based overseas? Like the ones where you google search the US street address on their website using maps and find out it is just a run down apartment building?
Or are you talking about more respectable outfits?

I just heard through the grapevine that several companies have been shut down and/or threatened with the confiscation of their equipment for passing Robocall traffic. The companies that this happened to all claimed someone contacted them and told them to keep the TN/traffic up so they could help catch the offenders. Unfortunately, whoever is advising carriers to keep the traffic up is not on the up and up. The ITG and large carriers came in and shut them down because they continued to pass traffic that was identified as robocalls. If someone contacts your company about a trace back and advises you to keep the TNs / traffic up, DO NOT LEAVE IT UP! Document everything and turn down the Robocall traffic as soon as possible! Then send both the ITG and large carrier involved the account number and CDRs for the calls in question. Be safe out there.....it's getting crazy!
