I'm not convinced the parser is clever enough to do a comparison on 2 
different right-hand-sides... Split it into 2 different statements, and 
USE n rather than absolute line numbers:

   exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(number)}" = "8585979857"]?bad)
   exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(number)}" = "8585970327"]?bad)

   ...

   exten => s,n(bad)Hangup()

If you use the 'n' mechanism to number lines then you can trivially add in 
more tests for spammers numbers without having to renumber every time. 
(although this may not ultimately be the best way to do it, it is easy for 
a few simple cases)
