Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of improving accuracy in fraud screening for online transactions, including: providing a security cookie to a computer of a customer who accesses a website, where the security cookie includes a unique identifier (ID) that is assigned to the customer; and if the customer accesses the website at a subsequent time, checking if the customer has exceeded a velocity value based upon the unique ID of the user. If the customer has exceeded the velocity value, then the order is placed in an outsort queue for fraud analysis. Alternatively, if the customer has exceeded the velocity value, then the velocity value along with other indicators relating to the order are evaluated by an electronic commerce fraud detection module to determine if the order is to be placed in an outsort queue for fraud analysis. A velocity value may be defined as the number of orders placed by the customer to the website within a particular defined time period.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus for supplemental address verification for fraud prevention, includes: a validation tool configured to receive an incoming order from a customer and to validating a credit card of the customer with an issuing financial institution; a fraud shield tool configured to compare information related to the incoming order with negative files; an electronic commerce rule-based fraud detection tool configured to compare information related to the incoming order with general fraud patterns; and a third-party service configured to further analyze the incoming order for potential fraud, if an outsort rule fires.

Abstract: A method of resurrecting a cancelled order, includes: in response to a cancelled order, receiving a request to resurrect the cancelled order; determining if the cancelled order is eligible for resurrection; if the cancelled order is eligible for resurrection, then gathering additional information to make a recommendation on the resurrection or denial of resurrection of the cancelled order; and analyzing the request in order to grant or deny the resurrection of the cancelled order.
