Challenge

A large mobile content provider offering subscription-based entertainment services was experiencing rising fraud levels across Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) channels. Automated enrollment attacks and coerced-click campaigns were driving excessive refunds, carrier penalties, and reputational risk.

Automated enrollment attacks and coerced-click campaigns were driving excessive refunds, carrier penalties, and reputational risk.
