  • Publication number: 20140236829
    Abstract: A fraud management system is configured to store rules for detecting fraud, receive a transaction from a merchant, process the transaction using a first subset of rules to generate a fraud score for the transaction, and output information regarding the fraud score to the merchant to assist the merchant in determining whether to accept, deny, or fulfill the transaction. The fraud management system is further configured to receive, after outputting the information regarding the fraud score to the merchant, additional information relating to the transaction, re-process the transaction using a second subset of rules to generate an update fraud score, and output information regarding the updated fraud score to the merchant to assist the merchant in determining whether to accept, deny, or fulfill the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20120158586
    Abstract: A fraud management system is configured to receive a transaction from a merchant; select rules to use to process the transaction; process the transaction using the selected rules to generate a set of alarms; and generate an alarm score for each of the alarms. The fraud management system is further configured to combine the alarms with alarms from one or more other transactions to form a combined set of alarms; sorting alarms, in the combined set of alarms, into groups based on attributes of the transaction; generate a group score, for each group, based on at least one of the alarm scores for at least one alarm in the group; generate a fraud score, for the transaction, based on one or more of the group scores; and output information regarding the fraud score to the merchant to notify the merchant whether the transaction is potentially fraudulent.
