Re: [outages] [EXTERNAL] Re: Sudden influx of calls from 415 area code
I got a scam call from 800-042-2213, with a pre-recorded message telling me that my social security number had been disabled. I'd wager that another bank of scammers has spun up a new host and started robodialing.

That number is clearly not a valid number. AFAIK a NXX must match [2-9][0-9][0-9]. From what I recall the FCC now allows carriers to reject calls they think are spam. Step on is to drop calls with invalid ANI. On Tue, May 21, 2019 at 5:35 PM Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal) via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:

You are correct. The same rule applies to NPA and NXX in general. Neither can start with a 0 or 1. I've been filtering obviously-invalid ANI on a lot of my switches for years. I suspicion a lot of carriers have done the same thing, even before the FCC ever thought of it. :) -- Jeremy Gault, KD4NED Senior Engineer, Voiceopia office: (423) 954-7102 toll-free: (855) 203-6363 x 102 fax: (423) 244-0565 On Tue, May 28, 2019, 08:23 Dovid Bender via Outages <outages@outages.org> wrote:
