Block Calls by Caller ID NAME (not number)

Is there a way to block calls by caller ID name (not #). I am getting multiple calls per day from caller ID name 'LOCAL' from multiple different numbers.

Not possible with any IP system vendor or TDM/IP carrier I am aware of.

Thanks darn. I am getting 10+ calls a day that leave no message - all different area codes and numbers with caller ID LOCAL.

I feel your pain. I got a ton too both on my RC account and my AT&T POTS line. Scam artist using Youmail numbers. Crooks are everywhere even our phone lines.

There should be no technical limitation preventing this. If it's possible to display a caller ID to the recipient of the call, then it's possible to validate the caller ID before ringing the recipient's phone. This is proven by the fact that we can currently block calls that have no caller ID.
