[VoiceOps] Inappropriately Signed Calls

[Paul Timmins]

I haven't found a signature in 2 years I couldn't find a contact for by simply taking the name in the certificate, going to the robocall mitigation database, and then contacting that person. It's been incredibly fruitful for me. At worst it might take a light googling, but RMD is mandatory, and if they have taken the time to get a cert, they're also gonna be in the RMD.

YMMV, of course.

Maybe their customer is taking advantage of a misconfiguration, maybe they typo-ed something similar and it happens to be your number, maybe you discovered the next unrepentant robocalling company.
