Synthetic identity fraud is one of the main threats to ecommerce and financial services. The sophisticated nature of combining factual and fabricated aspects of identities to create new, fraudulent personas defies traditional detection methods. As this new type of fraud has evolved, it’s become necessary that fraud detection technologies advance to match this threat. Pro Insight provides manual review agents with the data and information to detect fraud quickly, preventing damage. The data and information include real-time risk assessment, positive and negative signals and a global Identity Risk Score; empowering manual review agents to assess transactions and detect discrepancies confidently. With the ability to track a complete view of identity data, agents use that information to make fully informed decisions about fraud. This whole picture reduces false positives and ensures accuracy. Maintaining more accurate checks and data gives good customers a better overall experience. Agents use Pro Insight’s integrated network risk assessment to delve into particular patterns in different identity elements. Noticing patterns that a specific type of identity element follows, for instance, a pattern found in real IP addresses, allows agents to pinpoint synthetic identity fraud when it doesn’t follow the regular pattern. Our comprehensive approach equips businesses with precise tools to avoid synthetic identity fraud, strengthen security, create more efficiency and uphold customer satisfaction. Synthetic identity fraud is a newer and unique form of identity theft. Instead of either making up a fictional identity or entirely stealing another person’s identity, a synthetic identity is a combination of false and stolen information to create a unique identity and use it for fraud. Fraudsters combine real names with fabricated addresses and fake social security numbers to create a synthetic identity. The combination of real and fake is challenging to detect. The main goal of using a synthetic identity is establishing a seemingly legitimate credit history over time to exploit by accessing credit, loans, and other financial services and then disappearing once the financial gain is complete. Like all types of digital theft, synthetic identity fraud is continually evolving. To stay up-to-date in fighting this fraud, it’s essential to employ advanced tools. Pro Insight constantly adapts and updates technology to stay ahead of criminal tactics and stop theft before it occurs. Fraudsters create synthetic identity theft in multiple ways. The first way is commonly known as piggybacking. A person or entity attaches a fake identity to a legitimate account and gradually builds a credit history. The next way fraudsters create a synthetic identity is through data furnishing, where they submit fabricated data to credit bureaus to generate credit profiles over time. The bust-out-fraud method occurs when a synthetic identity establishes credit, and then the credit lines are maxed out, at which time the synthetic identity vanishes. Then there is the tried and true identity merging, where a fraudster combines real and fake information to create a brand new identity used for fraudulent activity. The first step towards a synthetic identity fraud solution is obtaining a robust identity verification system. The sophisticated nature of synthetic identity creation often exploits the intricacies of data systems in the credit process. By leveraging data science and machine learning, Pro Insight offers a comprehensive approach to the challenge of synthetic identity fraud that works at the same level of complexity and sophistication as the fraud itself.
