Some scammers might block calls from TextNow, FireRTC, BobRTC, Google Voice, Skype, etc. I’ve been thinking of having a VoIP system only for users with badges or with the verified badge. Don’t tell scammers about it. Not sure if this might be a good idea though.

I've been thinking this to be true as, even after changing TN #'s, I get immediately disconnected. You may be on to something here!
@Jhawk#172012 Let other verified users know about this thread and share the link with them. We need more thoughts on this.
It could get expensive… I’ve run a PBX for myself, and it ended up costing a fair bit. Oh, and there’s security risks if running yourself, like endless brute force attacks.
@NeooomScambaiting#172015 What if we make a billing department for the costs? We could set the caller ID as anonymous as default. Making calls will require verification if it’s a scam or not. If it is, then the call will be placed,. If the number is not fraudulent, the call will not be placed. I’ll post a PDF of my suggestion here if possible.
Good idea. Count me in. I am would donate if need be.
@drwat#172018 Is there a way to post PDF files here? When I’m done with typing it (I’m already in progress) I guarantee I will show it.

Inform as many verified/trusted users as possible. Bring them here as soon as possible. We need more votes cast. Please also share your thoughts with others about this so we can more open-minded thoughts and opinions to share. I think this would be worthy.
Making a pbx isn’t to difficult the issue is the cost of the voip, that’s what is quite expensive.
There a lot of carriers out there and all offer different prices.
