Also if you want to block the ability to make a call to that number from
oncampus phones you could do that through your pbx or call manager like
system depending if you use VoIP or PBX.

If you use a spam filter like Barracuda it would be easier to do it that
way.  You could block based on subject, body, from email address, etc.

FYI,

This morning some of our users are receiving the following email.
Interestingly enough, this time the scammer has an automated answering
number to collect the data.

I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to block this number using a
PIX or ASA SIP inspection.

Respectfully,
