Twilio has introduced solutions to address the growing problem of SMS pumping, a type of fraud that drives up costs for businesses sending SMS messages and reduces conversion rates. The company's Verify Fraud Guard technology detects and prevents SMS pumping fraud, which is built into its purpose-built solution for verification use cases, Verify. With three different modes offering varying trade-offs between costs and false-positive rates, businesses can rest assured they are protected from fraud. Additionally, Twilio's Programmable Messaging API now offers SMS Pumping Protection in public beta, enabling automatic detection and prevention across messaging use cases. The company also provides an SMS Pumping Risk Score Lookup API to check whether a phone number is known or suspected to have been used in SMS pumping fraud schemes.
