Scams are designed to trick victims into revealing personal information (e.g. a social security number or credit card numbers) or manipulate them into authorizing payments. Because payments are authorized by the true account holder they are particularly difficult for banks to detect.

Scammers use a variety of techniques, like making a phone call pretending to be a government agency or bank official or selling an offer that sounds too good to be true. Other tactics include investment scams, romance scams, and many others.

To effectively detect scams, banks must capture all scam signals, behavior, payments and non-monetary events and use a combination of models and rules to detect when an individual appears to be acting abnormally.
