In the UK if someone calls your fixed line from another country it just says “INTERNATIONAL” (not the full number). But those people who have legitimate reason to telephone me from overseas are given other VOIP numbers I have (where I can see the caller ID) so anyone who calls my home number with missing caller ID is usually a sales caller or even automated calls
So I just route these in to extension 158
5 x SIT tones + the announcement (that weasels have eaten the phone system) should be enough to get rid of bots and confuse the folk running these schemes, as they won’t know whether their autodiallers are calling the correct country. Perhaps if everyone in the EU who has an Asterisk based system does this but picked the announcements from the neighbouring nations, that would have more impact than any EU privacy/data protection laws…
