Abstract:
Subject matter described herein is directed to detecting fraudulent use of telecommunication services. Different attributes (e.g., dialed number, start location, start time, end time, etc.) are analyzed that describe communication instances. When an authorized-use parameter is violated, fraudulent use can be detected. Once unauthorized use of services with a mobile device has been detected, a location of the mobile device can be used to determine a locus of fraudulent activity.
