Systems and methods for identifying potentially illicit purchases, especially in card-not-present transactions. In one implementation, a merchant transaction system comprises a processor and memory. The system receives a transaction request from a customer for a card-not-present sale transaction. The system transmits over an electronic network a transaction risk request message to a transaction risk evaluator, and receives over the electronic network a reply message from the transaction risk evaluator, indicating a level of risk associated with the sale transaction. The system can decide whether to proceed with the card-not-present sale transaction based at least in part on the content of the reply message.

Card systems and methods

Systems and methods of the present invention detect and/or deter individuals who may be collecting or intending to collect unemployment insurance (UI) benefits and simultaneously receive pay from an employer. Embodiments identify, during either initial screening of a UI applicant or on an ongoing basis for current recipients, those individuals who would seek to defraud UI programs by receiving improper payments. Methods include locating account information in databases from one or more (preferably, a plurality) of financial service organizations pertaining to deposit (or other) accounts for an individual applying for benefits, analyzing deposit transactions into those accounts, determining whether the individual is likely to be receiving deposits from employment or wages, and providing information to an entity such as a government agency regarding likely employment deposits for the individual.
