Phone Reputation Service™
The Definitive Source for Phone Fraud Number Lookup and Research
Pindrop Security’s Phone Reputation Service (PRS) is the world’s largest and most accurate database of fraudulent phone numbers. PRS assigns a unique risk score to every number and provides detailed information, including geography, phone type, and, if a fraud number, specific institutions targeted, attack frequency and other numbers used by the attacking entity. The PRS is accessed via an easy-to-use interface that displays a variety of fraud activities and trends, provides actionable intelligence on suspect numbers, and allows the creation of fraud alerts.
