Fraud Management - PRS Fraud

Premium Rate Services (PRS) are very simple to establish and can be set up without any direct interaction with a telecommunications network, e.g. via a dealer or specialist agent.  This means the network provides access to these services without having any real control.

To identify and prevent PRS fraud it is important to be able to distinguish and classify PRS services with the data processing of a fraud management system.  However, the system should perform this task in an advanced manner not just on the call rating or volume of calls. 

Therefore, the operator needs a fraud system which is capable of performing customer assessment, account management and profiling, interconnect verification, usage monitoring and service owner assessment and profiling.

Neural Technologies' Minotaur Fraud Management Solution provides operators with advanced detection capability for all types of premium rate abuse utilising three different methods of detection, as well as providing flexible reporting ability, enabling the operator to have full control of possible PRS fraud issues.

1. Creating advanced rules and thresholds to monitor and limit premium service access, volumes, durations, destinations, etc. as well as incorporating account details, dealer or provider information or routing, which allows the operator to monitor and detect the various aspects of PRS fraud.
    
2. Employing usage profiling to highlight changes in PRS activity and the activity of PRS services.  This can be extremely effective in the early detection of Artificial Inflation of Traffic within PRS.
    
3. Monitoring both originating and destination number usage profiles using destination profiling which helps prevent arbitrage, AIT and call abuse premium rate fraud.

Neural Technologies offers PRS fraud management within its Minotaur fraud solution or as a low cost stand-alone module available via the cloud.
