Protect your school from fraudulant calls

Schools are being targeted by hackers in order to reconfigure their phone system to re-route their own calls.

There has been a serious phone fraud committed on a school in the last few weeks.  The thieves have broken into the telephone system, changed the dialling rules, removed the International and Premium call barring and have spent in the region of £7,000 in just 12 days on calls to Cuba, Morocco, Pakistan, India and Afghanistan amongst others.

Schools are being targeted by hackers in order to reconfigure their phone system to re-route their own calls. The fraudsters gain most by routing international, mobile and premium rate phone calls through the school’s phone system and can run up hundreds of thousands of pounds in calls.

Paul Hooper, MD of one of our Group’s companies, TTG explains:  “The recently committed fraud wouldn’t have happened had the school agreed to take up our fraud protection. It only takes 10 days to move and we then monitor outgoing calls 24/7 to prevent call fraud. Our fraud protection facility is a monitoring system that is built into our calling platform and block outbound calls when certain call profile alarms are triggered. 

Not only do our services provide your school with fraud protection, but typically save 20% on line rental and 45% against BT on your calls and 28% on average against other providers.

We deliver the intelligent communications solutions that enable schools, colleges and universities to deliver a richer experience in and out of the classroom.

TTG are part of the Excell Group and have been an approved supplier of NASBM for over 4 years.  Our call monitoring services can protect your school against these 'phone freaking' activities.
