Re: Spam calls from spoofed CID said by Quattrohead:That is what I am worried about, as long as the carrier gets paid, that's OK with them. The ridiculous thing is, that US calls are so cheap, that the actual profit from such spammers is very small. They'll need to send millions of messages for the carrier to make any decent profit at all.
Yesterday I got one on my cell, 413 330xxxx. Researched the number on the CID and found the sites above.
Today the spammers got to my VS number 413 315xxxx. Both of these numbers show up as Omnipoint Miami E License, LLC. - so you found your underlying carrier.
So Nitzan/Bruce/Brendan etc. Can these calls be tracked by your systems if something is setup so the public can log these calls ? Depends what you mean by tracking. Eventually I see no option but to implement some sort of user-configurable (block or not, and at what level) spam filters, with user submitted numbers to be blocked - but that's a whole project in itself. (it'll have to be smart enough to figure out which numbers really are spam, and which numbers are just someone's ex-bf)
I'll add it to the wish-list.  |
