Good afternoon,

I have keenly followed this thread and unfortunately it has gone cold. I
really hope this conversation and issues highlighted won't just end here
in our inbox or as an archived thread.
*To the CA team and Telcos;* can there be better ways of handling this
because it is an everyday problem that we continue to face and the damage
that can be done/ is being done is costly to those affected.
