Abstract
A method for identifying an origin of fraudulent activity including receiving a first affirmative fraud flag from a first user for a financial transaction associated with a first user account and obtaining financial transaction information for the first user account, which includes a first financial transaction entry listing a payee and a first time. The method further includes receiving a second affirmative fraudulent flag from a second user corresponding to a financial transaction and a second user account and obtaining financial transaction information for the second user account, which includes a second financial transaction entry listing the payee and a second time. The method further includes determining an intersection between the first and the second financial transaction entries, identifying a potential origin of fraud from the intersection, and alerting the first and the second user of the potential origin of fraud.
