Hi Dane,

I posted the following in the block calls forum:

"I have received two calls from (707) 823-9965 (a number when called is a number that is disconnected or no longer in service). A recorded voice by caller appears to be attempting to solicit business by offering discounted vacation package, appears to be live, yet is not. The call is, IMHO, highly suspect and appears to be a surreptitious means of defrauding the public through calculated deceptive, misleading and spurious methods.

Please report to FBI and block this number."

Please consider adding a function that Sonic members may avail themselves of when members receive an unsolicited telemarketing, spam, phishing, or other suspect call. Such a function could be implented as follows:

Member receives a call highly suspect as a telemarketing call, spam, scam, phishing or other questionable call.
Member hangs up and immediately keys in a code (for example *666) on their dial pad. This records the available metadata for incoming call, a recording requests confirmation by the member of the number of the call (if known) and the member's user name along with an optional menu of choices to characterize the call (unsolicited telemarketer, suspected fraud (civil violation) or other pertinent category). By such a method or an equivalent, the possibility of efficient data acquisition can be coupled with filters to identify patterns and frequency of concern. Data can then be forwarded, as appropriate to law enforcement and FCC.

Cheers!
