Abstract
A system and method that determines when fraudulent activity, such as relates to a credit card, etc., may be imminent. The system and method of the invention allows for warning a credit issuer of probable fraudulent activity at an early stage. Probable fraudulent activity is determined by: receiving at a receiving center an authorization request from a user for a dollar amount; and determining, using a fraud test, if the authorization request is likely to be indicative of fraudulent activity.
