Abstract
An approach provides detection of unauthorized use of data services. A fraud case is created for a data call that is determined to be potentially fraudulent based on a fraud alert. A fraud score is determined for the case according to the fraud alert. The fraud score is adjusted according to adjustment criteria including an intermediate network involved with the data call, and an originating country of the data call.
