Fraud Detection View Sample / BACK

Equifax SAFESCAN^Ž monitors every on-line request, compares customer-provided input against a separate nationwide fraud system and alerts customers when potentially fraudulent information elements are found. A low-cost optional enhancement to a wide range of Equifax risk assessment products, SAFESCAN provides several important advantages:

Current, Complete Coverage. SAFESCAN is continually updated with fraud-related information from Equifax customers and government agencies, as well as law enforcement, postal authority and trade associations. Add SAFESCAN's internal monitoring of every request and the result is nationwide fraud protection built on current, complete information.
Increase Information Accuracy. SAFESCAN increases your confidence in the accuracy of information the consumer provided, helping detect errors and immediately flagging applications that should be examined more closely to verify address, Social Security or telephone number information.
Protection Beyond "Known Frauds". SAFESCAN issues warning on applications that contain fraudulent elements - helping detect potential fraudulent activity before it becomes widely known and reported.
Comprehensive Address Search. SAFESCAN warns you when an applicant's address is a mail receiving service, prison, lodging facility, check cashing site, etc.,or has been misused in the past. And only SAFESCAN identifies address associated with two or more names or Social Security numbers-providing additional information for verifying application accuracy.
No Disclosure Requirement. SAFESCAN warnings are not part of the file, cannot be used as a basis for denying credit or employment, and apply only to information elements - not to individuals.
Cost - effectiveness Protection. SAFESCAN can pay for itself if it helps to prevent even one fraud-related loss out of thousands of applications
Automatic Access. After a customer number is activated to SAFESCAN, no additional sign-on requirement are needed. It automatically checks every on-line request made via DAT, PC, voice response unit (VRU) or system to system access method an is available off-line via tape-to-tape.
