[AusNOG] Rise in fake calling numbers?

[Matt Perkins]

I would say they are likely coming in from overseas based telco's. All 
of the Australian based operators that im aware of take their 
responsibility seriously when setting the outbound calling number that 
calling customer has the rite to use that number. We will not set an 
outbound CLID for our customers unless the inbound is churned to us or 
the customer has proved proof they own the rites to the number. Like 
their mobile number for example.
