<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Guys<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need a bit of assistance here,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of our customers has a prefix <a href="http://203.55.215.0/24" target="_blank">203.55.215.0/24</a> which is a /24 of <a href="http://203.55.214.0/23" target="_blank">203.55.214.0/23</a>,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">TCR Holdings / Metwide are advertising this prefix without permission and thus far all attempts to contact them and have this removed are ending at failure,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The owner of these prefixes has even been to the extent of contacting their upstream provider TPG without success<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if anybody else has ever had any issues like this, and might be able to point me in the right direction for the next step,
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The customer has already updated this /24 prefix description stating that its been hijacked so it appears all over the address space<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Appreciate any help on or off-list<u></u><u></u></p>
