Telephony fraud encompasses various deceptive practices exploiting telephone networks, leading to financial losses and compromised security. Common types include SIM-Swap fraud, International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF), Origin Based Rating (OBR) fraud, Wangiri scams, and Caller ID spoofing
SIM-Swap fraud involves fraudsters deceiving mobile carriers into transferring a victim’s phone number to a new SIM card, granting them access to calls and messages. This enables interception of one-time passwords and unauthorised access to sensitive accounts
International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF) and Wangiri scams exploit telecom networks by generating fraudulent premium-rate calls or luring victims into calling expensive numbers. TeleShield detects suspicious call patterns, flags high-risk numbers, and prevents revenue leakage for businesses
Blocking IRSF and Wangiri scams at the network level prevents fraudsters from generating illicit profits and protects businesses from unnecessary financial losses
Real-time SIM-Swap detection helps financial institutions and online platforms prevent unauthorised access by flagging suspicious number changes before they can be exploited
Verify provides instant SIM-Swap detection, along with porting and forwarding checks, helping businesses prevent unauthorised access and account takeovers
