Less is more. Users only see the parts of the system relevant to their involvement and only cases that they need to see.

Automated updates keep interested parties aware of the progress of their cases via status updates, emails or text (SMS) messages.
How To Minimise Fraudulent Online Transactions
According to CyberSecurity Ventures, global cybercrimes, such as online transaction fraud, are expected to cost economies $6 trillion USD, increasing annually by 15%. With so many fraud cases internationally, investigators worldwide are overwhelmed by their caseloads. Polonious software was designed to automate and streamline various administrative processes so investigators can spend more time focusing on the complex aspects of a fraudulent bank transaction case. We are working with financial institutions worldwide to minimize the number of fraudulent online transactions, so we have some tips to reduce fraud proactively.
What do Fraudulent online transactions look like?
Online fraud can appear in many ways, and as technology becomes more advanced, online fraud is becoming more sophisticated. Here’s what an online fraud transaction looks like;
- Phishing scams. When a scammer pretends to be a representative acting on behalf of a financial institution, they can convince a person to give up personal information leading to identity theft or monetary theft.
- Skimming fraud. This refers to a device attached to an ATM or a merchant’s terminal that takes your card’s details when the magnetic stripe is skimmed past. These details can either be used to create a counterfeit card or for card not present fraud.
- Card not present fraud. Nowadays, you do not need a physical credit or debit card to make a purchase online. Instead, you just need a few critical pieces of information. While this might be more convenient for shoppers, it is far easier for scammers to retain details and commit card not present fraud.
- False billing. Whether you are a large banking institution or an insurance provider, your customers can very easily fall prey to fraudulent billing scams sent out via email or text.
A fraud transaction is detected by looking out for;Â
- Unusually frequent transactions
- Transactions associated with other high-risk or fraudulent accounts
- Large sums of money suddenly spent or transferred
- Frequent transactions in unusual locations
