Systems and methods for providing call verification

1. A verification system for providing call verification, comprising:

a) at least one processor;

b) at least one input device; and

c) at least one storage device storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method to:

receive a call request from a service provider to establish a call with a client device associated with the client of the service provider; verify the identity of the service provider;

transmit a notification to the client device that includes an indication that an incoming call is from a verified service provider;

receive verification information about the client; verify the identity of the client;

establish the call between the service provider and the client after both the identity of the service provider and the identity of the client are verified;

wherein verifying the identity of the service provider comprises:

providing a universal resource locator (URL) to the service provider, wherein the URL directs the service provider to a webpage for providing verification information;

receiving, on the webpage, input from the service provider in response to a verification challenge; and

verifying the received input matches preselected verification information associated with the client of the service provider.

2. The verification system of claim 1 , wherein the call request is an application programming interface (API) call.

3. The verification system of claim 1 , wherein the call request is one of an HTTP request or a SIP request.

4. The verification system of claim 1 , wherein the call request comprises verification credentials for verifying the client.

5. The verification system of claim 1 , wherein the notification is a PUSH notification to a mobile application on the client device.

6. The verification system of claim 5 , wherein the mobile application is a mobile application associated with the service provider.

7. The verification system of claim 1 , wherein the notification is one of a short message service (SMS) text message or email text message.

8. The verification system of claim 7 , wherein the indication included in the notification is a passphrase previously provided to the service provider by the client.

9. The verification system of claim 8 , wherein the passphrase is included along with a plurality of dummy phrases.

10. The verification system of claim 1 , wherein the notification includes a universal resource locator (URL), wherein the URL is an address of a webpage that comprises an input area for the client to provide verification information in response to a verification challenge.

11. The verification system of claim 1 , wherein the indication included in the notification is a universal resource locator (URL) of a webpage that includes a selectable list of phrases, wherein the list of phrases includes (a) a verification passphrase previously provided to the service provider by the client and (b) a plurality of dummy phrases.

12. The verification system of claim 11 , wherein the method performed further comprises, receiving a selection by the client of the verification passphrase previously provided to the service provider by the client.

13. A computer-implemented method for providing call verification, comprising:

receiving an application programming interface (API) call from a service provider to establish a call with a client device associated with the client of the service provider;

verifying the identity of the service provider;

transmitting a notification to the client device that includes an indication that an incoming call is from a verified service provider;

wherein verifying the identity of the service provider comprises:

providing a universal resource locator (URL) to the service provider, wherein the URL directs the service provider to a webpage for providing verification information;

receiving, on the webpage, input from the service provider in response to a verification challenge; and

verifying the received input matches preselected verification information associated with the client of the service provider.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving verification information about the client;

verifying the identity of the client; and

establishing the call between the service provider and the client after both the identity of the service provider and the identity of the client are verified.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the API call comprises verification credentials for verifying the client.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the notification is a PUSH notification to a mobile application on the client device.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the mobile application is a mobile application associated with the service provider.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the notification is one of a short message service (SMS) text message or email text message.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the notification includes a universal resource locator (URL), wherein the URL is an address of a webpage that comprises an input area for the client to provide verification information in response to a verification challenge.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform a method for providing call verification to prevent voice phishing, comprising:

receiving a call request from a service provider to establish a call with a client device associated with the client of the service provider;

verifying the identity of the service provider;

transmitting a PUSH notification to the client device indicating an incoming call is from a verified service provider, wherein the PUSH notification is sent to a mobile application associated with the service provider;

wherein verifying the identity of the service provider comprises:

providing a universal resource locator (URL) to the service provider, wherein the URL directs the service provider to a webpage for providing verification information;

receiving, on the webpage, input from the service provider in response to a verification challenge; and

verifying the received input matches preselected verification information associated with the client of the service provider.

21. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 20 , further comprising:

receiving verification information about the client;

verifying the identity of the client; and

establishing the call between the service provider and the client after both the identity of the service provider and the identity of the client are verified.
