Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for telephonic fraud prevention. In an embodiment of the invention, a method of telephonic fraud prevention includes speech recognizing in real-time, audio of a telephone call from a caller to a called party. Once the real-time audio has been speech recognized into text, the text may be parsed into words and the words compared to a hierarchical semantic tree of terms. On the condition that a match is detected between one of the words and a node of the tree, a level of the tree is identified at which the match is detected and the level is correlated to a degree of risk of the telephone call. Finally, an alert is displayed to the called party reflecting the degree of risk.
