Investigate Email Addresses For Risk
Detect fraudsters at the earliest stage possible to avoid costly damage. Investigate email addresses for risk based on a variety of factors including social media profiles, data breaches, blacklists and more. Detecting suspicious emails early helps reduce churn, lowers costs and speeds up KYC verification processes to prevent fines from regulators.
Email Name Analysis
Many investigate email addresses for risk use slight-of-hand (similar to magicians) to spoof the display name in an email, so that the message appears to be coming from someone you trust but is actually malicious. This is done by switching out, adding or substituting characters – for example an “m” may be replaced with an “rn” or a.com could be redirected to a.co domain. When hovering over a link in an email, you can often tell by the unfamiliar address that it’s not a legitimate one by checking the email address in the pop-up window.
