Fraud Score

Fraud Score is a numerical value used to evaluate the likelihood of fraudulent or deceptive behavior in a given individual or transaction. It is calculated based on various factors and data points that indicate the potential risk of fraud. The score is designed to assist businesses, financial institutions, or organizations in making informed decisions regarding the level of trust or risk associated with an individual or transaction.

To determine the Fraud Score, multiple factors are analyzed, including but not limited to historical data, patterns, and characteristics associated with fraudulent activities. These factors may include the individual’s or transaction’s history, location, IP address, device information, behavioral patterns, and similarity to known fraud cases. The scoring model assesses the likelihood and severity of fraud by assigning a numeric value, often on a scale, where a higher score indicates a higher risk of fraud. This helps businesses and organizations identify transactions or individuals that warrant additional scrutiny, verification, or potentially declined altogether. The Fraud Score is a valuable tool in mitigating the risks associated with fraudulent activities and protecting businesses and individuals from financial losses and reputational harm.
