Abstract

A system for making a trust determination of a telephone number includes a memory, which stores the telephone number, communicatively coupled to a processor. The processor transmits a request message, which comprises the telephone number and at least two of a telephone porting information request, a call forwarding information request, a telephone switching information request, and a telephone simultaneous ring information request, to a service provider. The processor then receives from the service provider a response message, which includes at least two of a telephone information response, a call forwarding information response, a telephone switching information response, and a telephone simultaneous ring information response. The processor then determines a tampering concern associated with at least one of the responses in the response message and increases an inquiry level based at least upon the determined tampering concern.
