The following section provides an overview of the scope of our products and services for our owner verification and fraud detection services. We will work with you to develop a service solution that meets your needs and fully utilizes all available features and services.
Our multitiered owner verification system includes:
Automated Fraud Detection
Our platform leverages a robust point-based scoring system for new property owners seeking to list their properties. We utilize a machine learning engine where we can create complex rules to identify and prevent fraudulent activities. Our scoring methodology continually improves the accuracy of fraud detection over time.
This system evaluates a range of factors to identify potentially fraudulent listings or property owners, with each property owner receiving a “fraud potential score.” Those who fall below a certain threshold are promptly flagged for further investigation.
Moreover, our platform employs advanced technology to analyze multiple device data points and detect suspicious activities. We can quickly identify high-risk logins, user connections, multi-accounting attempts, and bot attacks, while also adapting our approach to address emerging fraud tactics.
By staying one step ahead, we provide our customers with a secure and trustworthy platform.
Owner Identity Verification
The AffordableHousing.com fraud detection team conducts owner verification with every new account created before a listing appears on the website. Through these proactive measures, our highly experienced team will use a hands-on approach to verify every new property owner using our internal methods developed through years of experience. If a property owner did not pass the automated fraud detection or our manual owner verification, their listing will not appear on our website until they have satisfied our requirements to verify that they are not a fraudster.
Continuous Fraud Monitoring
To stay ahead of evolving fraud rings and new scam techniques, we have implemented continuous monitoring techniques to detect any suspicious activities and prevent identity theft or fraud.
Our dedicated fraud prevention team conducts regular reviews of communication practices with renters and analyzes other data sets to learn about user behavior that may violate our terms and conditions. Additionally, we utilize AI-powered systems to monitor user activities and detect any unusual behavior that could indicate potentially fraudulent activities.
To bolster our efforts in thwarting fraudulent activities and staying on top of the latest fraud schemes, we regularly liaise with government investigators such as the HUD Office of the Inspector General. We report and exchange information about any suspicious activities, demonstrating our commitment to collaborate with you and investigative bodies to ensure the secure utilization of both your services and our platform.
By employing a multitiered process that incorporates both automated and manual systems and continuously monitoring user activities, we can strengthen the authenticity of our users and minimize fraud.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) Feed
To enable the use of our comprehensive verification and fraud detection process on other listing websites or databases we offer a RSS feed that includes all property listing content, including verified property and owner details and their trusted owner status. Our expert team will collaborate with your IT management personnel to provide clear integration instructions, guide you through the process, and ensure a proper connection to our services.
