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.

Hi folks
we may be hearing a rise in the incidence of VoIP calls faking their caller
ID for the purposes of spamming and scamming.

Consumers check the caller ID on their hand CND and accept the Australian
sourced number, only to find it is a complete scam. This is often tied to
the 'missed call scam' but now they are using genuine Aussie phone numbers
and the genuine owners aren't happy.

>From my rusty experience at setting up VoIP systems, you should be able to
impose filters on incoming calls  at the network level here the number
doesn't match the source - can people please give me a clearer update on
this from the trenches?

What are the good housekeeping steps for network operators?

Off list please and I'll summarise the responses,

thanks in advance
