Building whitelists comprising voiceprints not associated with fraud and screening calls using a combination of a whitelist and blacklist

1. A method comprising:

receiving precursor data comprising a plurality of identifiers and voice samples, each identifier associated with a voice sample, the precursor data received without regard to whether the voice samples are fraudulent or not, the receiving performed using a server system including a computer having a processor coupled to memory;

receiving a fraud report comprising a plurality of identifiers associated with fraud;

identifying using the server system which of the precursor data are associated with fraud based on a match between identifiers associated with the voice samples and the identifiers associated with fraud in the fraud report;

generating a blacklist comprising a list of voice prints based on the voice samples corresponding to the identified precursor data associated with fraud using the server system;

generating a whitelist comprising a list of voice prints based on voice samples not corresponding to the identified precursor data associated with fraud using the server system; and

processing requests to screen voice samples of speakers against voice prints in one of the blacklist and the whitelist.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising indexing the received precursor data based on identification metadata that at least partially identifies a speaker associated with the data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating a whitelist comprises converting precursor data not identified as associated with fraud to a whitelist database of voiceprints.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the conversion is performed only after effluxion of a predefined period of time, provided that no fraudulent transaction was linked to the precursor data during the predefined period.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating a whitelist comprising data corresponding to the precursor data not identified as associated with fraud is based on a number of non-fraudulent transactions linked to the precursor data exceeds a threshold.

6. A system comprising:

a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the system to perform a method comprising:

receiving precursor data, each entry in the precursor data comprising an identifier and a voice print associated with the identifier, the data received without regard to whether the voice print is associated with fraud;

identifying which of the voice print entries in the precursor data are associated with fraud, based on matching the associated identifiers to information in a fraud report;

generating a blacklist comprising the voice print entries in the precursor data associated with fraud;

generating a whitelist comprising data corresponding to identifiers and associated voice print entries in the precursor data not identified as associated with fraud and based on identifiers associated with non-fraudulent transactions; and

processing requests to screen speakers against one of the blacklist and the whitelist.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises indexing the precursor data based on identification metadata that at least partially identifies a speaker associated with the data.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the identifying comprises marking data associated with fraud if a fraudulent transaction can be linked to the data based on the fraud report.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the generating comprises determining that a number of non-fraudulent transactions linked to the precursor data exceeds a threshold.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises generating a blacklist comprising voiceprints corresponding to precursor data identified as associated with fraud.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored there on a sequence of instructions which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method comprising:

collecting data comprising a plurality of identification metadata and for each of the identification metadata, a corresponding voiceprint;

comparing each of the collected identification metadata to fraud data in a fraud report;

identifying which of the compared identification metadata are associated with the fraud data;

generating a blacklist comprising a list of voiceprints corresponding to identification metadata that are identified as associated with fraud data;

generating a whitelist comprising a list of voiceprints corresponding to identification metadata that are not identified as associated with fraud data; and

processing requests to screen speakers against one of the blacklist and the whitelist.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises indexing the collected data based on identification metadata that at least partially identifies a speaker associated with the data.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the identifying comprises marking data associated with fraud if a fraudulent transaction can be linked to the voiceprint based on a fraud report.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the generating a whitelist comprises saving each collected voiceprint not identified as associated with fraud to a whitelist database.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the saving is performed only after effluxion of a predefined period of time after the collection of the collected voiceprint provided no fraudulent transaction was linked to the collected voiceprint during the predefined period.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the saving is performed only after a number of non-fraudulent transactions linked to the collected voiceprint exceeds a threshold.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises generating a blacklist comprising data corresponding to the collected data identified as associated with fraud.
