[asterisk-users] Help Preventing Click to Call fraud on Asterisk Servers!
Hi all, I'm developing a Click to call Website, but now i'm getting worried with Click to Call fraud.... Imagine I just create one of this PhoneNumbers (extra charged numbers: like games, erotic lines...) in a remote country.... Then i just go to a click to call website and start an "attack" inserting this Special Phone Number like 1$/min. Even if i control call duration on asterisk, and also my recepcionist will notice this is a fraud call, i'll be charged for the 1st minute every time.... My Idea would be if someone has already worried with this, wouldn't be great to create a list on wiki or something where we can share this pattern Numbers? Is very hard to discover all the patterns for all the countries without sharing our knowledge... Any tips? -- Best regards, Marco Mouta -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You could include your phone number on your site so that people from other countries could call your center as needed. -HJC
