Question 1

What is the fraud risk assessment (Fraud Score) when checking a phone number?

Accepted Answer

This is a numerical indicator that reflects the likelihood of this number being used in fraudulent schemes.

This indicator is calculated based on the analysis of historical data about the number, including its involvement in controversial or suspicious operations, the frequency of changes in ownership, and association with suspicious activity.

If the Fraud Score is above 75 points, the account may be automatically blocked when attempting to log into banking systems, online stores, and other web services.

Question 2

How do services react to the presence of a number in anti-fraud system blacklists?

Accepted Answer

When a phone number is found in blacklists, the service immediately imposes sanctions.

Usually this involves blocking or restricting access to services, requiring additional identity verification, or refusing registration.

Services use this information to protect against potential fraud and enhance the security of their users.

Question 3

What is the validity of the number?

Accepted Answer

This means that the number is valid and active.

This is confirmation that the number is registered with the network operator and capable of receiving or making calls. Validating the number is important to ensure that it can be used for communication or sending notifications.
