Blacklist Locations

ClearIP can create blacklisting rules for specific high-cost location. Locations refer to the U.S. states and Canadian territories and provinces.

For carriers in the United States, phone numbers based in rural areas such as Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnesota have been recognized as common targets for domestic traffic pumping. Some domestic toll fraud has occurred to other locations such as New York.

If ClearIP should monitor specific locations for toll fraud, then you can add rules in the Whitelist/Blacklist Called Locations page to enable fraud analysis on specific locations and set the Action to Continue.

Blacklist called locations domestic

Adding rules to for specific locations with the Action set to Continue is only relevant if a separate rule has been created in the Called Countries page to bypass fraud control on calls to United States. Otherwise, you do not need to implement the above rules.
