  • Patent number: 12236438
    Abstract: A system and method for real-time fraud detection with a social engineering phoneme (SEP) watchlist of phoneme sequences may perform real-time fraud prevention operations including receiving incoming call interactions and grouping the call interactions into one or more clusters, each cluster associated with a speaker's voice based on voiceprints. For a pair of voiceprints in a cluster, a phoneme sequence is extracted for each voice print. From the extracted phoneme sequences, a similarity score is then calculated to determine if a match exists between the extracted phoneme sequences based on a threshold. If determined a match exists, the phoneme sequence may be added to a SEP watchlist.
