MTT joins Big Four antifrod

2023: Joining the verification scheme of interaction by antifrod

Provider MTT"" On May 2, 2023, it announced that it had joined the anti-fraud verification scheme created by mobile operators communications to combat telephone scammers using fake numbers.

Earlier, the Big Four telecom operators introduced platforms that protect calls from numbering substitution by telephone scammers.

Now, when calling between MTT subscribers and mobile operator subscribers, the system determines whether the call is made by real subscribers. The connection occurs only if the verification is successful. This protects MTT corporate clients from illegal use of their numbers by cybercriminals, and also excludes the possibility of substituting the numbers of the Big Four operators when calling the company's customers.

MTT joining anti-fraud platforms of telecom operators is an important initiative on the part of MTT and another step towards improving the security of services for our corporate customers, which is especially important for clients from the banking sector who use the numbers 8800 from MTT, - commented Yuri Bezlepkin, Director of the Department for Interaction with MTT telecom operators. - We continue to work to improve the quality of our services and protect our customers from frodwood traffic.

Integration with the Big Four operator systems is part of a comprehensive anti-fraud campaign that MTT is implementing in partnership with the operator community and the regulator.
