[VoiceOps] Suspect NPANXX question

[Tim Jackson]

I only see 1 carrier with this route as of today in all of our decks.

Looking back through the past month or so of traffic, I can't find any
attempts to this prefix.. A quick google of it seems to show a lot of
scams calling from this prefix anyway.
