[VoiceOps] Non-ITG Traceback Requests

[Carlos Alvarez]

We had someone demand info once, but he didn't cite any laws and just
claimed he was entitled to it because he was being harassed (collections
company).  Of course you can imagine how much sand we told him to pound.

In your case, I would default to no info given, CPNI or not, unless there's
a legal requirement to provide it.  It's hard to prove a negative, but I've
never heard of any requirement to provide customer info or even to have ANY
conversation with a random person.
