Phone fraud detection is the process of identifying fraudulent behavior in calls and other communications. It looks for patterns in user behavior, payment history, and more to identify suspicious activity. Aura’s phone number reputation & risk scoring analyzes mobile, landline, and virtual (VOIP) numbers to determine their risk of being involved in fraudulent behavior. This allows us to detect patterns of suspicious behavior and warn users.
Fraudulent phone calls are a big problem for the telecommunication industry, and they cause millions of dollars in financial losses every year. Using AI and machine learning, researchers have been developing methods to identify these types of calls. The latest technologies include passive voice biometric verification, which verifies a caller’s identity over the course of a conversation rather than only at the beginning.
