Default Remove Invalid Phone Numbers

4. Remove all entries that are 'fake' phone numbers (i.e. 0000000000
or 3171234567)


The only way this would work is if you can check it against a known
"non-fake" list. Why couldn't (317) 123-4567 be a valid phone number?
If you come up with a list of the criteria that makes a phone number
"invalid", then you are merely coming up with a list of if-then
statements to check the number. Other than that, your asking to filter
on a vague notion of validity.
