As we reflect on last week’s International Fraud Awareness Week, we have been thinking about how far the telecoms industry has come in trying to tackle telecom fraud, since 2018 when Ofcom first published new General Conditions of Entitlement (you can see what we wrote here)
Telecom Fraud is an increasingly sophisticated threat targeting individuals and businesses alike and we know as an industry we must continue to work together to keep ahead of the perpetrators. However todays telephone systems are not only complex but also evolving rapidly, so keeping ahead of the fraudsters while ensuring legitimate business is not interrupted is an ongoing challenge, and one we summarised when we looked back at all that has been done regarding scam callers here.
As a leading provider of voice communications, at Magrathea we actively promote collaboration within the telecom community and work alongside industry partners to identify, monitor and prevent fraudulent activity. We are proud members of Comms Council UK – who have been treating Fraud and Scams as a top priority this year. We are dedicated to creating secure voice communications by enforcing stringent security measures and continuously improving our own monitoring, detection and reporting tools to help our clients stay secure and mitigate risk.

Together, we can help combat telecom fraud and ensure safer communication for all.
