LOL @ the FOIA request bit. <br>
<br>
Seriously he hit the nail on the head. Weve seen this before and
there is honestly little that can be done. <br>

The phone system is decentralized, and while that is generally

sucks for this.

There is nothing that can be done that will be effective. You can
complain
<br>
to lots of places, but unless the call is going through their
network, and
<br>
how could you possibly know what network the call is going
through, they
<br>
can't help. Even if it is, they might decide not to help.
<br>
<br>
A non-profit independent organization would have to get all the
carriers
<br>
involved to allow for tracking who sent what calls where and when.
And us
<br>
little guys won't get access, so we'll have to cut a ticket to our
carrier
<br>
to their carrier before we get a response a week later.
<br>
<br>
Or you could ask for an FOIA request from the NSA. Pretty sure
they'd know.

The customer doesn't necessarily want to know who is making the
calls, but
<br>
wants them to stop. I know I can contact Verizon, who owns the
number, but
<br>
since the calls aren't being originated from us or our customer,
I'm not

sure how they can help.

Does anyone have ideas of how to go about blocking this since we
aren't the
<br>
LEC owner of the DID?
