Telecommunications Giant Fraud Detection System
A major telecommunications provider was losing over $3M annually due to undetected “cramming” fraud—unauthorized charges added to customer bills. Their manual fraud detection process was identifying only 35% of fraud cases while consuming 4-6 hours per comprehensive call audit. With millions of customer service calls processed monthly, the scale of the problem was massive.
Sylox implemented a comprehensive AI system leveraging Large Language Models (GPT/Gemini) to analyze call transcripts with multi-task intelligence—simultaneously detecting fraud, ensuring compliance, and analyzing customer sentiment. The result: 35% improvement in fraud detection accuracy, $2.1M in annual savings, and 60% reduction in audit time.
Our telecommunications client faced a critical challenge: fraudulent “cramming” was costing the company millions of dollars annually, yet their existing fraud detection processes were catching less than half of all fraud instances. Manual auditing was time-consuming, inconsistent, and unable to scale with the volume of customer interactions.
Business Problem
Specific Pain Points
● Only 35% of cramming fraud instances were being detected by existing processes
● Manual processes missing subtle fraud patterns in conversational language
● $3M+ annual losses from undetected fraudulent charges
● Regulatory compliance risks from inadequate fraud prevention
● Processing millions of transcribed IVR records requiring manual review
● 4-6 hours required per comprehensive call audit
● Unable to audit more than a tiny fraction of calls
● High operational costs for fraud investigation teams
● Unstructured conversational data in customer service calls
● Speaker identification challenges in multi-party conversations
● Contextual understanding required to distinguish legitimate from fraudulent interactions
● Need to maintain customer experience while detecting fraud
The fraud detection gap was creating significant financial losses, regulatory exposure, and customer trust issues. The company needed an intelligent, scalable solution that could analyze calls in real-time, identify subtle fraud patterns, and dramatically improve detection rates without increasing operational costs.
Business Impact
Our Solution: GPT-Powered Multi-Task Intelligence
We implemented a comprehensive AI-powered call analytics system that leverages the contextual understanding capabilities of Large Language Models to perform sophisticated, multi-task analysis of customer service calls. Rather than simple keyword matching, the system understands the nuance and context of conversations to identify fraudulent behavior patterns.
