[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.

    We saw similar on our T1 trunks but from 608 area code.  Ours were a mandarin language message telling us that our DHL package was ready for pickup. It appears to have only tried our range once and left Voicemails for the people who didn’t pick up.

    We just saw a sudden influx of calls (hundreds to a wide range of DIDs) from 415 area codes to our sip trunks and a few unrelated cell phones within the last 15-20 minutes. Any idea what's going on?
