In a SIP environment many UA's have a feature "only allow INVITES
from SIP registrar" or words to that effect. Another possibility
might be to challenge incoming INVITEs (and other SIP methods) if
the host switch and CPE supports challenge. (Metaswitch for
example is actually quite aggressive with use of challenge responses
on most transactions.) <br>
<br>
Those SIP techniques along with good IP access control or NAT can
substantially reduce SPIT (SPam Internet Telephony.) Is there a
Federal "Truth in Caller ID Act?" If yes, it is probably only
enforceable on Interstate calls, and then you need to find someone
who has the competence, standing and urgency to enforce it. <br>
<br>
I am not a lawyer, but I know that law can vary from State to
State. Illinois had a "don't lie about caller ID" statute before
our legislature, but it got voted down. <br>

<pre wrap="">We get these calls all the time, and the offending call never originates
from our network. We tell the caller that they can try two remedies:
1. Call their own phone company and file a nuisance call report and,
2. Call local law enforcement and file a harassment complaint (if the case
warrants it)
3. File a complaint with the FTC if it's just a sales call to a do-not-call
list subscriber
None of these actually does anything. However, it makes the caller feel
like there is some action they can take and properly put the investigative
burden on their carrier. More likely, their carrier will give them options
for blocking the number instead of opening a nuisance incident.

Subject: [VoiceOps] Phone Spoofing - Anything we can do?
Have a customer, they are getting calls on their number that indicate
another party is spoofing their number.
"You just called me."
"I just got a call from this number?"
And it isn't them, not through my systems.
Has anyone figured out a process that is even somewhat effective in hunting
down and ending the spoofing, while actually getting that Truth in Caller ID
Act violation filed against them?
Or is it just as impossible as I suspect?
