  • Publication number: 20260222486
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing real?time fraud detection during an in?progress call between a calling device and a called device over a telephone network. Call audio is monitored and evaluated by a filtering model that generates an indication of fraud. When the filtering model output indicates potential fraud, data describing the calling device and the call content are provided to a fraud detection machine learning model. The model generates a fraud detection value indicating a likelihood that the call is fraudulent. If the value exceeds a threshold, the called device presents a fraud alert.
