Account Creation

Promo abuse, synthetic identity fraud, and buyer-seller collusion are some of the biggest forms of abuse at account creation. The risk is centered around people creating false identities or abusing campaigns for new users. A strategy to address this form of fraud is the most nuanced, based on industry regulations and user risk.

  • Fake and synthetic identities
