  • Event manager for use in fraud detection
    Publication number: 20030153299
    Abstract: According to the principles of the invention, a fraud detection system receives data relating to telecommunications activity. Event generators generate events from the received data, with each event having a weight corresponding to an increased or decreased likelihood of fraud. The aggregated events for a subject (a subscriber or an account) determine a score for the subject, which is used to prioritize the subject in an investigation queue. Human analysts are assigned to open investigations on the investigation queue according to the priority of subjects. In this manner, investigation resources can be applied more effectively to high-risk subscribers and events.
