Founder of https://www.plivo.com here. We have seen similar patterns of fraud on our customers primarily in the international markets, outside the US & Canada. It typically happens on repeating number ranges that are sometimes not even in service. MaxPrice approach did not work well based on our experience as this would lead to just blocking certain destinations completely. Alternatively, what we found better was have a geo permissions related options where customers could block destinations that are never used at a network level and additionally introduce rate limits for those networks, so its not open to an attack.
