Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

VoiceAlerts is designed for carriers, telecom service providers, enterprises, and regulatory bodies looking for enhanced call monitoring and fraud prevention.

VoiceAlerts detects suspicious call activity, identifies spoofed numbers, and provides insights into call campaigns using its HoneyPot system and implied carrier tracking.

The platform employs advanced techniques to determine the potential risks associated with the calls and provides actionable insights, including the interception of calls made by victims who are dialing back into the network known as a PSA by VoiceAlerts.

By intercepting these calls, VoiceAlert Services aims to bridge the gap between victims and potential scammers, ensuring that the calls are directed towards the affected brand, rather than being unaware and remaining outside of the call conversation.

HoneyPot numbers are inactive numbers specifically designed to detect robocalls, spam calls, and fraudulent traffic. Any calls made to these numbers are immediate indicators of potential fraud and compliance violations.

Carriers are required to register these HoneyPot numbers in VoiceAlerts.

Safe Harbor: VoiceAlerts follows industry best practices to detect potential spam and fraud in compliance with FCC regulations. However, reports do not guarantee definitive conclusions and we operate under Safe Harbor laws to protect the public.
