Catching Bust-Out Fraudsters

Most financial fraud is based on some degree of identification deception, such as posing as another person, but none to the extent of bust-out fraud. The success of both fraud rings and individual fraudsters perpetrating bust-out schemes relies primarily on stealing or synthesizing an identity, and then quickly opening numerous accounts just to "max them out" and disappear. FICO^® Identity Resolution Engine is a potent tool to combat bust-out fraud, helping lenders to uncover suspicious links in a person's identification data across various data sources, as well as suspicious connections between individuals based on shared data attributes.
