TeleShield is a powerful telephone fraud prevention API which protects both your business and your genuine customers. It provides robust and dependable security against a range of telephone-based fraudulent activities such as flash calls, International Revenue Share Fraud (ISRF), Origin Based Rating (OBR), ‘Wangiri’ scams, premium rate number fraud, telephone number spoofing and more
The service is based on live access to authoritative global data and can be easily integrated into your business processes with the option of standard or enhanced insights into numbers’ history and integrity. This allows users to detect telephony and telecommunications fraud – and protect themselves from it. Which in turn is a means to achieving a reputation for reliability from customers
Our integrated full number range plan has mapped all allocated and available number ranges to operators for every country in the world. So even if a number is not in our portability database (because it has not been ported), we can still return the correct routing information
OBR fraud, involving telephone number spoofing, occurs when a fraudster replaces the originating number to exploit lower call termination rates. TeleShield prevents such scams by identifying invalid calling numbers, avoiding surcharges. It can even retrospectively detect attacks, enabling you to pass surcharges back to the call originator
IRSF fraud poses a significant threat to businesses, involving costly attacks using premium rate numbers. TeleShield safeguards against this by identifying and eliminating fraudulent premium rate numbers from the callback process, preventing potential financial losses
