Making sense of fraud, robocalling, spam, & call blocking

Fraud, robocalling, and spam in telecommunications can be overwhelming for businesses. There are five main types of telecom fraud: International Revenue Sharing Fraud (IRSF), Traffic Pumping, Domestic Premium Rate Service, Interconnect Bypass, and Arbitrage. The new STIR/SHAKEN regulations aim to reduce fraudulent robocalls and illegal number spoofing by verifying caller IDs. Bandwidth has deployed STIR/SHAKEN in its network and works hard to detect and prevent spam through a 24/7 Fraud Team. Businesses can help restore trust in calling by getting ready for STIR/SHAKEN, participating in industry traceback, and reporting unwanted texts and phone calls. Bandwidth is committed to fighting telecom fraud, spam, and illegal robocalling through prevention, detection, and mitigation efforts.
