I’ve been using a call flooder from one of the prank calls website using their APIs but it doesn’t seem to work anymore. Please share if you have any working flooder. Need to shut down some cashapp and apple support scammers who are very actively running the scams.

If your after a direct flooding system your going to struggle to build one without paying lots in costs, not that I condone anyone doing stuff that may be seen as illegal.
If you share the numbers I may be able to do some stuff

Is there any paid ones? Not too costly but making these scammers shut should be worth spending a little money

If you was going to set something up it would have to be all done yourself, so your looking at trunking and servers which isn’t a cheap investment, as far as I know no-one does a paid for service but members here are always free for a challenge

There aren’t any ready to use providers that will let you do this. Like mentioned earlier, you’ll need to get an account with a SIP trunk provider that looks the other way at abnormal traffic, a decent VPS or dedicated server (can be self hosted) to handle the number of channels you’re planning for and setup something like asterisk or a similar system that can handle calling.
It requires a decent amount of research to find the resources, ongoing investment (server and non toll-free calling costs). Due to the liability of running such systems, those that have them don’t offer them publicly and often won’t discuss the details in setting them up.

@johnnyyy I built one for asterisk written with bash shell script. SIP calls are actually not that expensive (less than 1 cent each), I find that I can disrupt a call center for under a few dollars. I drop maybe $20 into my account every 3 or so months. This pays for multiple DIDs as well as regular calls, texting, ect.
You’ll need a trunk provider, & also to stay under their radar. They tend to notice if you’re sending hundreds of calls in a second all from unique numbers to a single number. However, placing calls every few seconds, with pre-recorded content &/or conferencing on with other extensions, it’s rather disruptive especially if the call center is under 10 agents.

Hey, I found this thread trying to find any reliable documentation on how to setup a call flooder to try and shut down a call center that has been harassing people in Switzerland (including me and many people I know). Not only they spam call you (and they don’t remove you from their lists even if you don’t fill in their “requirements”, they keep asking you the same questions and hung up on you as soon as they figure you’re not a good fit (only to call you back after a while… they called me 5 times today), but I highly suspect them to be data brokers too. They pretend to have a special money back offer on your health insurance (which is mandatory in Switzerland) and they then ask you personal infos. They call themselves “Swiss Protect” but there is absolutely no traces of them on the internet. I Even confronted one of the scammers about that and he said that yes they do have a website, laughing at me, pretending it to be swissprotect.ch but of course there’s nothing. Their call center is located in maghreb (probably tunisia) and I know they are active in the french part of switzerland but I don’t know if they also target the german or italian parts too.
Note that spam and scam calls are super rare and frowned upon (generally really well controlled) in Switzerland so I don’t know how they managed to be active for so long and there seems to be nothing that service providers can do about it…
Do you think you could help me or do you know any ressources that could point me to setting a call flooder myself (I’m learning to code and I am resourceful, I have some notions) for the greater good? My last resort would be to go on TOR to do some research but I was hoping not having to.

Your issue is finding a provider who would allow for Switzerland calls and also those type of calls, what I would better recommend is to use a carrier lookup and report the calls to their provider

I’ll look into that first then. May I have any question about how to carry a carrier lookup successfully, would you eventually help me (if you have the knowledge of course)?
But I’ll try to figure it out on my own first, thank you for your answer and help so far
Feel free to ask any questions, good carrier lookups are pretty hard to come by but I have systems that are pretty accurate I programmed @demurragereports that handles hundreds of lookups per day so its my speciality.
Give https://freecarrierlookup.com/ a try and check for the carriers fraud report email online, stuff like “{telecom name} (abuse) email” tends to work well, then write up the email and it helps to include your number and the time of call in it as well.
