Fraud Techniques Becoming More Advanced Card-not-present fraud is becoming increasingly more prevalent. Traditional fraud screening tools only determine if a card is legitimate or if the user-entered account detail matches the information on record. In fact, fraudsters can obtain personal credit card information, pose as the legitimate cardholder, and bypass standard fraud checks. By enabling fraud scoring, we examine an online transaction from all the necessary view-points. Our tools are geared not only towards verifying the authenticity of the credit card details used for the purchase, but rather, identifying if the purchaser is the legitimate card holder. Through analysis, Advanced Fraud Scoring has been able to identify traits and patterns that are associated with fraudulent orders. By asking the right questions, Advanced Fraud Scoring can pass on the necessary information to detect fraudulent orders before the payment is processed. INTERNET FRAUD BY THE NUMBERS Over 38% of online fraud is commerce related. The average cost of fraud management is around 0.5% of revenues. The size of the average fraudulent order is 1.5 times that of a legitimate order. The average order flag rate for suspicion of fraud is 6%.
About 3/4th of these turned out to be legitimate.

A fraud score of 20 represents a 20% likelihood the order is fraudulent. You can set, and adjust, your threshold to any level from 1 - 100. There are two additional flags to help merchants manage fraud when it matters most. Setting a minimum order value threshold (2) will provide scoring only on order of and over a value chosen by the merchant. Finally, weve included the ability to flag only international orders (3), where fraud is clearly higher than on domestic orders.
