Why Use a Phone Validator?

• Does your sales team spend most of their time unable to differentiate valid customer contact numbers from a spoof customer created by bots?
• Does your marketing team run into old phone lists that need to be more relevant and able to offer information on discounts and events?

Today it is not unusual for businesses to find an increase in fraud using fake identities, namely email and contact numbers. A Phone validator must analyze and screen the risks and identify invalid phone numbers in real-time. In addition, common reputation checks must include validating emails and scoring email risks before attempting any outreach to those contacts.

What is a Phone Validator?

Similar to companies validating email by requesting confirmation (Opt-in), Phone number validation services help verify a Contact’s phone number to ensure that the right contact is attached.

Why Are Fake Accounts Created?

Fake accounts that are stolen emails or phone numbers. Fake profiles to spam users with ads. Phishing for PII or PII – the reasons are many.
