National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) has investigated the telecommunication performance in the service providers in Egypt between the periods of February 2018 till February 2019. Fraud is a multibillions pounds' problem around the world. The problem is the huge financial loss of revenue that can affect the trustworthiness and performance of the telecommunication corporate. Egypt is one of the developing countries that are witnessing a rapid-growth development in its telecommunications infrastructure. As a result of the increment rate of corporate and internet users, fraudsters are exploiting the vulnerabilities to gain illegal revenue through the subscribers. The telecommunications sector in Egypt has suffered in the last two decades from different types of telecom fraud cases which have damaged the financial sector in both telecommunication side and governmental side. In this paper, we present: a) Statistical insights on users, mobile operators and Internet companies for the telecommunications sector in Egypt in 2018/2019. b) An illustration for the common fraudulent methodologies that are used against both users and telecom operators in Egypt. c) A discussion on the consequences of fraud cases with a suggested framework as a proactive methodology to prevent the escalated threat of telecom fraud.
