Check Fraud is Exploding - Are You Prepared for the Next Wave? The latest #FinCEN report on #mail #theft-related check fraud paints a chilling picture: criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, leveraging technology and insider knowledge to steal hundreds of millions of dollars. From check washing to new account fraud, the tactics are evolving rapidly. Key takeaways from the report include: 💥 The sheer scale - Over $688 million in potential losses linked to mail theft-related check fraud in just six months. 🧠 The sophistication - Fraudsters are using advanced techniques like creating high-quality counterfeit checks and opening fraudulent accounts online. 🗺 The nationwide impact: Every single U.S. state has been affected. At Alertspeed, we're not just uncovering fraud - we're predicting it. Our revolutionary Ennead model doesn't just flag anomalies; it assigns nuanced risk scores to every transaction, account, and party. We see the subtle shifts, the hidden connections, the patterns that others miss. By analyzing the vast network of relationships between parties, accounts, and transactions, we detect fraud in its earliest stages, even those schemes yet to be discovered. #MailTheft #CheckFraud #Fraud #Innovation https://lnkd.in/eB6Gud33

Recent news about reduced fraud reimbursement in the UK is a reminder that financial scams are more than just a monetary issue. As this article highlights, the trauma and emotional toll on victims can be devastating. This underscores a critical point: the fight against fraud requires more than just reactive measures. It demands a proactive approach that empowers individuals and institutions to stay ahead of sophisticated criminals. The current landscape is clearly failing to protect individuals. Alertspeed believes it's time to rethink our approach to financial crime prevention and explore innovative solutions that truly safeguard our financial well-being. https://lnkd.in/dCekbgeW #FraudPrevention #FinancialCrime #RiskManagement #Cybersecurity #Banking #7thOctober

UK Finance Publish Fraud stats for FIs in 2023: #APPfraud is still a monster We're not going to mince words: the latest fraud statistics published by #UKFinance paint a damning picture. #Fraudsters have siphoned off a staggering £1.17 billion through both unauthorised and authorised #fraud. Some stats about APP fraud from the report: ☢ Authorized push payment (APP) fraud losses hit £459.7 million!!! ☢ The total number of APP cases surged by 12% to a shocking 232,429. ☢ The main culprit? Purchase scams—conning people into paying for goods that never arrive. ☢ These #scams saw a 34% rise in cases and a 28% increase in losses, totalling £85.9 million. This is the highest loss and case count ever recorded. ☢ These scams account for 67% of all APP fraud cases. On a slightly brighter note, tests using Smart Data Foundry’s APP synthetic data set, the same data used by the FCA for their APP digital sandbox, showed that our Alertspeed platform detected nearly 89% percent of APP frauds. I think you’ll agree that this is very promising – we’ve worked really hard to optimise and improve our #ML capability. If you're grappling with #APPfraud, please reach out — October 7th is just around the corner…

Social engineering tactics like impersonation and emotional manipulation are the reasons people authorize payments. But it's still fraud. It was always just hard to catch, even in investigation. Harder still to prevent and interdict. It's why not all victims of authorized push payment fraud didn't get compensated. But, the tide is turning! 🎉 The new UK APP Fraud Compensation Law, effective October 7th, 2024, mandates faster response times and a presumption of liability for banks in certain APP fraud cases. It's a step in the right direction to help the victims of such frauds. Alertspeed exists to help the banks prevent such frauds and avoid the losses before they are incurred. #APPfraud #UKbanking #fintech #compliance #AIinFinance #realtimedetection #ProtectYourMoney #SocialEngineering
