2much programmers used certain criteria to flag
transactions as suspect. "We automatically flag any transaction with a woman's first name, for example," said 2much Media & Communications manager Greg Jones. "In more than nine cases out of ten it's fraud."
Jones refrained from discussing other details. Women are statistically
least likely consumers of online adult material and so a purchase under a female name must be scrutinized by human eyes before a decision is made.
The human operator was factored in to add a dimension of intuition to AHMAD. "Certain behaviours are key indicators of fraud, and can't be programmed," said Jones. "We've broken them down and outlined them for our operator, but I won't talk about them for obvious reasons."
To tell
tale of how 2much worked together with their billing company and
Minnesota police to pinpoint and corner
fraud artist would be harmful to future prevention. "We're out to hinder, not help,
thieves out there," said Jones. "So let's just say it was a fruitful cooperative process and leave it at that."
