  • Patent number: 8103568
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, systems and computer program products for identifying fraudulent transactions. In general, transaction information is inputted into the system and an address is received from such information. A database is then queried to determine if the address already exists in the database. A determination is made whether or not the transaction is suspicious in response to the address existing in the database entry. Alternatively, in response to the address not existing in the database entry, a determination is made as to whether or not the transaction is suspicious based on a geocode. A geocode is a geographic location or coordinates of an address.
