Abstract

The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a system, and method for detecting fraud rings. The system gathers a small group of highly likely fraudsters. The system then looks for groups of these likely fraudsters who are interconnected. When the interconnections are strong, these groups are likely to be fraud rings. Once fraud rings are detected, the links can be applied to better prevent fraud and to help in criminal investigations.
