Fraud in telecom networks has been a problem that has always plagued the bottom line of operators. There are many ways to defraud and abuse telecom networks – both wire-line and wireless. Ingenuity and innovation are the hallmarks of this tribe of modern day bandits. Telecom companies have a long history of fraud fighting, but the imaginative methods employed by fraudsters call for continuous improvements on the solutions deployed to check fraud. Any FMS can be a centralized system integrated with the rest of the telecom network systems, and act as a monitoring tool which will help in detecting and reducing the frauds in the network.

Many types of frauds existing today which go unnoticed by operators go unnoticed by telecom operators such as Subscription Fraud, Roaming Subscription Fraud, Cloning, Call-Sell Fraud, Premium Rate Services (PRS) Fraud, PBX Hacking/Clip-on Fraud, Pre-paid Fraud, Internal Fraud etc. Alkan Telecom has built accumulative experience in fraud fighting through working over the years with carriers and operators either wireline or wireless and has helped them identifying fraudulent activities in their network through many services either internal or external.
