<p class="MsoNormal">My understanding of how it would work, would be that the carrier would assert you originated the traffic and were doing so legitimately, not that you had to do it yourself.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, that of course leads to a whole other world of fraud attempts, if someone can bust in and use your system like a hat or use call forwarding.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My experience with CNAM troubles in the past has been that 95% of the time the customer misread it, it was generic with the name of a locale, or they were using a device with a contact list that had the wrong information in it. The other
5% is impossible as I’ve never had our carrier do anything other than say it is the other customer’s problem. The carriers and I guess people in the know or connected in this business can work their contacts back channel but otherwise the customer seeing
the bad information usually has to complain. Maybe others have better success.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have had other people report names and various things have appeared on their mobile devices recently, which should a whole other mix of terrible if it’s not CNAM and populated from account data or something bizarre.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for all the replies thus far. To answer a couple of the questions that have come up, we are using valid, working DID numbers that we own for all outbound Calling Number Masks. And none of the DIDs forward to other carriers, they
are all pointed from the PSTN to our various gateways.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One thing that was mentioned is that a SPAM autodialer bot has at some point spoofed some of our numbers causing them to be flagged as SPAM which is certainly a possibility and nothing we can do about that. I regularly get calls even on
my cell phone with the whole “hey I missed a call form you” from the caller and they get irritated when I tell them, sorry I did not call you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know there is nothing we can do from a configuration perspective. I was just hoping there was some managed whitelist these carriers used that I was unaware of. I know there are various 3<sup>rd</sup> party apps that do this but its definitely
something being done at the carrier level as well because I frequently get these messages as well on a Verizon phone and I do not have and SPAM apps or subscriptions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">More and more I have users reporting that their outbound PSTN calls are showing as “Potential SPAM” on called party phones. Its causing some real problems because these are legitimate calls that the customer in many cases has requested
but they are ignoring it due to the message and if they don’t have voicemail set up or its full they have the perception we are not returning calls. I’m assuming the Caller ID name in the national Database is being substituted with this message by the wireless
carriers. We don’t do any telemarketing so there is no reason why our calls should be flagged with SPAM. I’ve reached out and received little help from Verizon or AT&T. Wondering what other are doing to get numbers “white listed” as I’m sure I’m not the only
one facing this. Thanks Jason<o:p></o:p></p>
