Fighting Fire with Fire: Mobileum and Apate Shut Down Scam Operations From the Inside Out

AI-powered conversational agents help CSPs go beyond call and message blocking, disrupting fraudsters before they reach real customers. CUPERTINO, Calif. — Mobileum Inc. (“Mobileum”), a leading global provider of analytics and network solutions, and Apate.ai (“Apate”) have announced a partnership that equips communications service providers (CSPs) with advanced AI-powered fraud prevention…

Mobileum and Apate have joined forces to combat the growing issue of scam calls, texts, and emails, which cost consumers an estimated $442 billion in 2025. The partnership integrates Mobileum's Active Intelligence Platform with Apate's AI-powered conversational agents, enabling telecommunications service providers (TSPs) to proactively disrupt scam operations.

Instead of merely blocking suspicious communications, the solution actively engages with scammers, gathering real-time intelligence on their tactics, networks, and tools. This intelligence is then fed into Mobileum's fraud prevention solutions, allowing TSPs to detect and stop criminal activities more efficiently. The AI-driven approach empowers TSPs to stay ahead of evolving scam threats, strengthen their defenses, and protect their customers from financial losses and compromised trust.
