FraudGUARD® is Now Available! Interthinx™ Launches Its Most Comprehensive Fraud Prevention Tool to Date

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. -- (Sept. 22, 2006) Interthinx™ is proud to now offer FraudGUARD®, its state-of-the-art loan level fraud detection solution for lenders and investors.

The official launch and press release for FraudGUARD will commence on Sept 25th.

FraudGUARD helps to uncover the entire fraud scheme because it uses a holistic approach to fraud detection. By combining Interthinx ‘best practices’ of system and application intelligence with 10+ years experience in fraud detection, FraudGUARD analyzes the complete loan file to flush out fraud in every aspect of the loan application process.

FraudGUARD is truly the most comprehensive fraud detection weapon on the market to protect both lender and investor assets.

FraudGUARD features FraudNetSM technology, a network of data, pattern matching analytics and industry experience that provides fraud prevention solutions to the mortgage industry. Using this powerful network, FraudGUARD is able to reveal misrepresentations by comparing loan application information with data pulled from the proprietary Interthinx National Fraud Protection Database (NFPD), aggregated 1003 (application) data spanning over 10 years, third party data, and internal shared data. The data is then analyzed using a pattern-matching system designed to emulate the most current fraud tactics. The system employs models and search algorithms to spot patterns and commonalities between the loan information and previous instances of loan fraud.
