[AusNOG] High number of inbound automated Chinese language calls on AAPT CTS

[Matt Perkins]

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.

Matt.
