I have this problem recently also with one of the customer who's router is connected to Internet directly. Luckily the telco inform them about it.

When I remote in, it is still happening. They are actually using sip 5060 to make outgoing call. What I did was using acl to block 5060 both tcp and udp. I blocked sccp and h323 as well. All of them I set to log but only seems like it's hitting 5060 only

You should always shut down ports TCP/UCP 5060 and TCP 1720 on your router for outside interfaces.  Maybe your NAT is not a PAT also, and it forwards all ports through.  NAT is not inherently a security device, and should not be assumed so.
