asterisk users - Aug 2006 - 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?

Why not exclude international and 809 outbound calls entirely and then
bless specific countries as needed?

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