Building Trust with Secure Communication Solutions
The Impact of Telecommunications Fraud
Fraud has caused consumers to become increasingly reluctant to answer calls from unknown or suspicious numbers, posing challenges for legitimate businesses trying to reach their customers. This issue has significantly impacted carriers and service providers, resulting in financial losses, increased operational costs, and damage to customer confidence. Moreover, fraud can lead to an erosion of trust, ultimately causing a loss of customers and negatively affecting the economic reputation of businesses involved.
Common Types of Telecommunication Fraud
Number Spoofing
Falsifying the caller ID to appear as another phone number. Used to deceive the recipient into believing they are communicating with a reputable business, or a government institution.
Neighbor Spoofing
Scammers mimic local numbers, often duplicating the first six digits of your own number to increase the likelihood that you answer the call.
Text Message Spoofing
Text messages are sent from a number that appears to belong to a legitimate source, often prompting urgent action from the unsuspecting recipient.
PBX Hacking
PBX hacking allows fraudsters to take control of phone lines by exploiting unsecured phone systems.
Robocall Spoofing
Automated calls programmed to deliver pre-recorded messages with the caller ID disguised as local businesses or trusted organizations.
SMS Phishing
SMS phishing is the practice of sending mass SMS to obtain personal information from the person who receives the messages.
