 Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2014 9:45 am Post subject: [asterisk-users] OT: Question on Caller ID (Spoofing calls w |
 |
|
I got a call from an overseas call center telling me about the
problems with the Windows machine I was using. They wanted to remote
in and fix things for me ... (Ignore the fact I use a MacBook Pro or
an ASUS laptop with Debian).
What I found curious was the caller's name was Asterisk, and the
caller's number was Asterisk@10 or or Astrk@10 similar. (I don't
recall the exact number, but it was malformed and it had an '@' in
it).
I'd like to read a little more about spoofing calls with Asterisk. Can
anyone provide a reference?
Thanks in advance.

Asterisk can set any Caller ID name and number you want with the CALLERID() function.
Type 'core show function CALLERID()' on the Asterisk command line to get the details.
Whether your trunk will convey the Caller ID you have set is another matter - and entirely the choice of your outbound carrier.

On our systems, if I don't assign a CID number to an inbound call that is blocking it's CID, the default shown on the Polycom phones is Asterisk. I've set it up that any inbound call with no CID is assigned a 0 for the phone number and Restricted as the CID name.

So, in other words, they had a moron install the system that is trying
hard to social engineer their way into people's computers.

This is a common scam scheme.
Try "windows scam call" at YouTube.
Whether CLI spoofing works depends on the provider and has not so much
to do with Asterisk. Asterisk makes it possible, but so does every
common SIP softphone or most other SIP device for that matter. If the
CLI you claim to own will get actually transmitted to the callee depends
on the provider you are using for termination and whether they allow you
to set an arbitrary CLI. It also depends on the routes that the call
travels through until it reaches the callee. If there's a "grey" route
on the path that overwrites your CLI, such as a GSM gateway, your CLI
won't make it to the callee. Nowadays you can find providers that allow
you set arbitrary CLIs on every corner.
