And while fraud has always posed a challenge in business, it&#8217;s the methods that constantly evolve. One of the most significant current threats to companies operating online comes in the form of malicious, relentless, and elusive fake users. These individuals sneak their way into online communities by creating fake accounts, wreaking havoc among legitimate users, and making a living out of tarnishing brand reputations. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be hard to accurately and efficiently detect fraudulent new account sign-ups, especially when fraudsters continuously evolve their attack mechanisms. Fake accounts open the door to financial losses for your business while impacting your user abandonment rates, customer lifetime value, and net-promoter scores.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why we built Telesign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telesign.com\/products\/intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Intelligence<\/a>: a product that can detect suspicious behavior from users\u2019 phone numbers in milliseconds. By embedding Intelligence into your new account workflow, our recommendations can help you spot and stop potential fraudsters from entering your digital ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.telesign.com\/es\/blog\/using-telesign-reduce-fake-accounts\/#how-intelligence-detects-fake-new-accounts\" >How Intelligence detects fake new accounts<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.telesign.com\/es\/blog\/using-telesign-reduce-fake-accounts\/#detect-bots-fake-accounts-and-spammers-at-scale\" >Detect bots, fake accounts, and spammers at scale<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.telesign.com\/es\/blog\/using-telesign-reduce-fake-accounts\/#improve-your-fraud-detection-without-introducing-friction\" >Improve your fraud detection without introducing friction<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.telesign.com\/es\/blog\/using-telesign-reduce-fake-accounts\/#seamlessly-connect-with-your-existing-cpaas-vendor\" >Seamlessly connect with your existing CPaaS vendor<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.telesign.com\/es\/blog\/using-telesign-reduce-fake-accounts\/#try-intelligence-with-a-free-trial\" >Try Intelligence with a free trial&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-intelligence-detects-fake-new-accounts\"><\/span><strong>How Intelligence detects fake new accounts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trust.telesign.com\/rs\/592-GWW-584\/images\/Datasheet-OnboardingIntelligence-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Intelligence<\/a> evaluates a phone number using&nbsp;billions of static and behavioral attributes to help you evaluate the risk in your interactions. It calculates a risk recommendation for each phone number, which is complemented by a set of insights and reason codes to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the phone number&#8217;s risk profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some data points that can indicate the presence of fake accounts include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Abnormal phone number activity<\/strong>: An unusually large volume of traffic and activity from a phone number within a short time may indicate risky interactions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bot-like behavior<\/strong>: Sending far more SMS messages than would be typical of, or even possible, for a human, is one example of bot-like behavior.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"detect-bots-fake-accounts-and-spammers-at-scale\"><\/span><strong>Detect bots, fake accounts, and spammers at scale<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intelligence detects phone numbers with fraudulent attributes, bulk account creation, and the exploitation of sign-up promotions. With global coverage and split-second decision making, Intelligence arms you with the information you need to keep out potential fraudsters while safeguarding your bottom line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"improve-your-fraud-detection-without-introducing-friction\"><\/span><strong>Improve your fraud detection without introducing friction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friction, such as too many customer inputs, verification challenges, or country blocking, can increase new user abandonment rates. Intelligence detects fraud without overhauling your user verification infrastructure. Just layer in data from Intelligence in front of your existing new account verification workflow to gain extra security without materially impacting the conversion rates of legitimate new sign-ups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"seamlessly-connect-with-your-existing-cpaas-vendor\"><\/span><strong>Seamlessly connect with your existing CPaaS vendor<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to switch verification vendors to improve your security with Intelligence. Intelligence works alongside all messaging and CPaaS vendors so you and your team can focus on increasing your sign-ups instead of rebuilding your verification infrastructure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"try-intelligence-with-a-free-trial\"><\/span><strong>Try Intelligence with a free trial<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can try Intelligence through a <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.telesign.com\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free trial account<\/a>.
