Abstract: Method for tracking virtual currency includes receiving a request to track virtual currency used in game play of a video game. A batch is created for the virtual currency that is to be tracked. The virtual currency in the batch is associated with a unique identifier for tracking. An expiration period is assigned for tracking the virtual currency in the created batch. A determination is made on whether the virtual currency in the batch being tracked is not involved in the transaction that is predefined to be potentially fraudulent, during a period leading up to the expiration period. The virtual currency in the created batch is un-tagged upon expiration of the expiration period assigned to the batch based on the determination.

Abstract: Method for detecting fraud includes receiving a fraud alert. The fraud alert is investigated by analyzing social graph information and other available information of one or more users associated with the fraud alert to determine likelihood of the users being involved in fraud. When it is determined that a fraud was committed based on the analysis, chain of fraudulent transactions related to the fraud are reversed and fraud events data related to the fraud are updated into a fraud event database for subsequent analysis.
