A Study on the Fraud Detection through Sequential Pattern Analysis: Focused on Transactions of Electronic Prepayment

Byung-Ho Choi, Nam-Wook Cho

Abstract


Due to the recent development in electronic financial services, transactions of electronic prepayment are rapidly increasing. The increased transactions of electronic prepayment, however, also leads to the increased fraud attempts. It is mainly because electronic prepayment can easily be converted into cash. The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology that can effectively detect fraud transactions in electronic prepayment, by using sequential pattern mining techniques. To validate our approach, experiments on real transaction data were conducted and the applicability of the proposed method was demonstrated. As a result, the accuracy of the proposed method has been 95.6 percent, showing that the proposed method can effectively detect fraud transactions. The proposed method could be used to reduce the damage caused by the fraud attempts of electronic prepayment.
