Take Down Phone Number Fraud Before It Takes Down Trust

Jun 24, 2025

A single phone call can break a customer’s trust. When fraudsters hijack your brand’s phone numbers to impersonate your institution, the damage goes beyond one scam — it shakes confidence in every conversation that follows.

At Somos, we believe no enterprise should fight this battle alone. Our RealBrand™ solution is built to do what passive monitoring can’t: detect misuse and take it down, fast. 

RealBrand™: Takedown That Stops Impersonators in Their Tracks

1. Establish a Verified Number Baseline

   Fraud prevention starts with a clear picture. RealBrand™ builds and maintains an up-to-date inventory of all your legitimate phone numbers, so any number pretending to be you stands out immediately.

2. Vet, Validate and Takedown

   When RealBrand™ detects or receives reports of a suspicious number, our team acts quickly. We investigate misuse, confirm fraud and push takedown requests through the appropriate Service Provider — shutting down scammers before they reach your customers.

3. Keep the Fraudsters Out

   Fraud evolves — so does RealBrand™. Ongoing collaboration with your team and alignment with Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols strengthen defenses. We engage with the broader telecom community to ensure that once bad actors are removed, they stay removed.

It Takes Action to Build Trust

Stopping phone number fraud isn’t a one-time fix — it’s a shared commitment to vigilance and decisive takedown action. Somos stands shoulder to shoulder with enterprises to protect every customer interaction and defend the trust you’ve worked hard to earn.
