Anti-fraud protection

Real-time call pattern monitoring detects and blocks fraudulent calls before they run up a bill.

Toll fraud is a real risk for any business phone system. It happens when someone gains unauthorised access to your calling infrastructure and uses it to place calls at your expense, often to premium-rate numbers or international destinations, and often in large volumes over a short window. The losses can be significant before anyone notices.

Anti-fraud protection in Voxbi works at the network and carrier level, where unusual call patterns can be detected as they happen. The system monitors outgoing call activity and can block calls that match the profile of fraudulent use, stopping the problem before it runs up a large bill. Because this protection operates at the carrier layer (provided by Mixvoip as the telco and numbers provider behind Voxbi), it applies to calls going through the network regardless of where your team is working.

When you'd use anti-fraud protection

  • A business that wants a safeguard against compromised SIP credentials being used to place unauthorised calls at their expense.

  • An organisation with high outbound call volumes where a sudden abnormal spike would otherwise go undetected until the invoice arrived.

  • Any company that needs to show stakeholders or auditors that its phone system includes active controls against communications fraud.

How anti-fraud protection works in Voxbi

  1. Monitoring runs continuously

    The system watches outgoing call patterns on the network, looking for behaviour that deviates from normal usage.

  2. Suspicious activity is flagged

    When call patterns match indicators of fraud (such as unusual volume, timing, or destination profiles), the system raises an alert.

  3. Calls are blocked

    Calls identified as fraudulent can be blocked at the carrier level before they complete, preventing further charges.

  4. You are notified

    If a fraud event is detected, you can expect to be contacted so you can review and secure your account.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a fraudulent call pattern?

The specific thresholds and indicators are not published. In general, fraud monitoring looks for things like an unusually high number of calls in a short time, calls to atypical destinations, or activity occurring outside your normal business hours.

Is this protection automatic, or do I need to configure it?

This protection operates at the network level and does not require per-customer configuration to activate. Confirm the specifics with your Voxbi account contact.

Does Voxbi provide financial cover if fraud occurs anyway?

Do not treat any financial coverage as a contractual guarantee without written confirmation from Voxbi or Mixvoip. The terms, scope, and conditions of any such coverage should be confirmed directly before you rely on it.
