[AusNOG] Scam Number 0343444621

[James Andrewartha]

What's the best way to handle these? In November we got a lot of calls 
with random caller IDs, and I was gathering logs to open a case with our 
carrier per the Comms Alliance CUSTOMER PROCESS –HANDLING OF LIFE 
THREATENING AND UNWELCOME COMMUNICATIONS but by the time I was ready to, 
they'd stopped.

Obviously that process is fairly weak sauce, particularly if you read the 
actual code which allows for no action if the supplier is unable to 
identify the source of the communication, but I was at a loss to find any 
other process to try and stop the calls.
