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.<br>
<br>
Interested to see if others are receiving same.<span style="color:#888888"><br>
