Fraud Forensics

Q: What is Fraud Forensics?

Fraud Forensics is Snappt’s dedicated team of full-time fraud experts who research emerging threats and reverse-engineer new fraud tactics daily to keep detection ahead of evolving schemes.

Q: How does Snappt’s Fraud Forensics team find new fraud tactics?

The team continuously monitors dark web activity and reverse-engineers newly discovered fraud schemes, feeding findings into Snappt’s proprietary Threat List and detection algorithms in real time.

Q: What fraud tiers does Snappt track?

Snappt tracks four tiers of fraud sophistication: Tier 1 visual forgeries, Tier 2 template farms, Tier 3 coordinated fraud rings, and Tier 4 inception fraud, in which real pay stubs are issued by a company the applicant doesn’t actually work for.

Q: What is Know Your Business (KYB) verification?

KYB verification validates an employer’s legitimacy and business credentials, protecting properties from fake company fraud schemes designed to pass a surface-level employment check.

Q: How often is Snappt’s Threat List updated?

Snappt’s proprietary Threat List and fraud pattern databases are continuously updated, so real-time protection reflects the most current fraud tactics rather than a static, outdated list.

Stay ahead of fraud before it hits your properties.

Fraud Forensics powers Snappt’s fraud detection engine, pairing dedicated fraud experts with purpose-built technology. Together, they investigate flagged documents and track emerging fraud tactics across the multifamily industry, keeping your properties protected from sophisticated schemes.
