Safeguard fraud prevention

Toll fraud is a chillingly common form of organised crime. Whether you have an analogue, digital or IP based telephony, fraudsters will use advanced software to crack passwords, bypass firewalls and hack into your phone system. Once accessed, unauthorised and illegal calls are made to any location in the world with stolen call time passed off as legitimate call traffic. In almost all cases there is a link to organised criminal gangs purporting to be legitimate businesses and, in many instances, fraudulent activity remains undetected until astronomical telephone bills arrive. Our telecoms specialists are here to protect your business. We’ll endeavour to lock down all phone systems we install or maintain but also recommend implementing fraud prevention technology to fully safeguard against toll fraud crime.

Safeguard your business from toll fraud

Prevent toll free fraud

Focus Group is committed to reducing the risk our customers face to the best extent possible. There are also key steps you can take to increasing your level of protection.

Control of your calls is a great place to start. Toll fraud criminals will look to place long distance calls so it’s advisable to place restrictions on calls to any countries you don’t work with or need to contact
Security training for your employees will heighten awareness of suspicious call activity e.g., recurring requests for invalid extension numbers, silent callers or callers asking who they’ve reached
Password protection is key. Use complex passwords, avoid patterns and change regularly
Make regular checks on your voicemail system to avoid fraudsters accessing redundant mailboxes or sourcing access to outside lines
