About Six Degrees

From our roots in CLI Spoofing and Refile detection, we now protect Operators from many types of fraud.

We are convinced that effective Fraud Prevention solutions must monitor traffic and data, and block fraud in real-time.

Why? It’s simple. If you are analysing usage (including CDRs/xDRs) to detect fraudulent behaviour then the fraud has already happened and you are now just measuring the damage and hoping to reduce it.

In terms of work ethic, we do what it takes. We aim to provide maximum value to clients and will go to extraordinary lengths to stop fraud and protect our customer’s revenues.

While our main office is in Farnham, Surrey in the UK, our team is distributed across five countries including Six Degrees Ltd, our operation in New Zealand.

The company is 100% owned by those that work in the company. We need only focus on the best interests of our customers and our staff without having to cater to the needs of external parties whose interests may diverge.

Some of our achievements

  • $2.9m of direct savings by a Mobile Operator the year RVS was implemented.

  • Detecting and Blocking over 200m fraudulent calls due to CLI spoofing and refile in 12 months on a single network.

  • Detected/Blocked more than 1.3m fraudulent SIMs on a single network in one year.

  • Blocked over 1M Wangiri calls on a network in one month. These were blocked before they could even reach the called party meaning there were no fraudulent call backs.

  • Blocked 16m refile calls in a month routed to an Operator over fixed SIP Points Of Interconnect.

  • Special Location Pinpointing of SIMBoxes for fraud profiling with almost Zero False Positives.

  • Accurate identification of refile traffic from specific Points Of Interconnect for regulatory action against the fraudulent operators.

  • Real-time blocking for other vendor solutions that do not have the inherent ability to block calls in real-time to ensure maximum benefit to our customers. We play well with others.
