Scam, Spam, and Robocalling
Subex AI catches up to 95% of malicious traffic while keeping legitimate calls flowing without friction. Nuisance traffic drops, fraud loses its entry point, and every genuine call still gets through. Less spam, more trust, a network customers can answer with confidence.
Overview
Scam and spam calls undermine customer trust and can trigger regulatory scrutiny. Subex helps CSPs identify suspicious calling behavior and number ranges using ML models and risk scoring, so teams can stop abuse while keeping legitimate traffic flowing.
The Challenge
Fraudsters use automation, spoofing, and social engineering to target subscribers at scale.
High volumes of nuisance calls increase complaints and churn risk.
Overblocking creates false positives that damage customer experience.
Analysts spend too much time validating suspicious numbers without enough context.
Real Impact. Real Efficiency. Real Results.
The ML-based module identifies up to 95% of scam and spam call attempts in controlled deployments within a network, drastically reducing malicious traffic.
Our advanced AI/ML model is fine-tuned to minimize false positives, ensuring legitimate customer communications are never mistakenly blocked.
Equipped with an anomaly detection engine capable of identifying “unknown unknowns,” our solution adapts to next-generation fraud tactics as they emerge.
By proactively protecting subscribers, you significantly improve customer experience and solidify your reputation as a secure and reliable service provider.
Key capabilities
AI/ML models generate a scam propensity score for each number based on behavioral patterns, traffic anomalies, and historical risk indicators.
Scam detection module works both on batch data as well as streaming data.
Integrates with external APIs for real-time call termination, number blocking, and automated enforcement actions.
Get auto triggered when accuracy falls below an acceptable threshold and help detect scams on the network.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can the solution be implemented and start detecting scams?
Our solution is designed for rapid deployment. A standard implementation, including integration with your data streams and the core AI detection engine, can be operational within 8-12 weeks. Value delivery begins immediately as the models process network data, with the Advanced Rule Engine allowing for immediate detection of known scam patterns from day one.
How do you maintain high accuracy and minimize false positives?
Our AI/ML-Driven Detection uses an ensemble of models trained on global and network-specific data. The system continuously learns, and its Auto hyperparameter tuning feature ensures peak performance. Crucially, the Advanced Rule Engine allows analysts to fine-tune logic and thresholds, creating a layered defense that prioritizes precision, keeping false positives to a proven minimum.
Can we investigate scam networks, not just individual numbers?
Absolutely. This is a core strength of our solution. The Link Analysis & Visualization tools in our BI dashboards correlate MSISDNs, call patterns, locations, and timing to visually map out entire scam campaigns and hierarchies. This reveals the network behind the fraud, enabling you to dismantle operations rather than just blocking single numbers.
What actions can we take once a scam is detected?
The platform provides multiple response paths. The Real-Time Blocking Capability allows for instant, automated blocking of high-confidence scam numbers. For more complex cases, alerts are routed to analysts who can use the Enhanced Analysis Arena for deeper investigation before initiating blocking, termination via external APIs, or customer notification campaigns.
Does the system only provide alerts, or also analytics for strategic decisions?
It delivers both tactical and strategic insights. Beyond real-time alerts, the Enhanced Analysis Arena offers comprehensive dashboards for geo-location heatmaps, scam campaign profiling, victim impact analysis, and revenue protection metrics. This transforms raw detection data into actionable business intelligence for security teams and leadership.
