Fraud
As with any telco that enables calls to be connected internationally, the problem of fraud does sometimes arise. Companies and individuals wanting to make a “quick buck” have sometimes tried to harness the VoIP User network in order to connect paying customers with what is, essentially, a free service, allowing margin to be skimmed off for the fraudster.
VoIP User handles this with a variety of measures, including the 10 minute call limit, and in extremis blocking of traffic to specific high fraud risk destinations altogether. Over the years VoIP User has seen many patterns of call fraud and has created tools and techniques to combat them based on the detection of those patterns.

Famous quotes containing the word fraud:
“The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimidation is a crime too grave to be regarded lightly.”

“Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover’s toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
