Fraud & SIU

Fraud rarely shows up in the answers. It shows up in how they were entered.

ForMotiv reads behavior, device and network signals in every session across quote, registration, servicing and claims. Stop bots, ghost brokers, fraud rings, synthetic identities, account takeovers, and more in real time, or investigate with a keystroke-level record of what happened after the fact.

Ghost brokers & fraud rings

A fraud ring is invisible one application at a time.

Each quote from a ghost broker or fraud ring looks ordinary on its own: different names, different addresses, clean data. As sessions come in, ForMotiv recognizes similar behavioral patterns and links them together, so SIU gets one case instead of thirty unrelated files.

Act, then investigate

Decide in milliseconds. Build the case later.

Signals reach your systems while the customer is still in the session, each with plain-language reasons. Fraud and SIU teams then work the same sessions offline in the ForMotiv Console.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does ForMotiv detect insurance fraud?

ForMotiv reads behavior, device and network signals in every session across quote, registration, servicing and claims, and assesses the whole session together. That lets carriers stop bots, ghost brokers, fraud rings, synthetic identities and account takeover in real time, or investigate after the fact.

What is a fraud ring in insurance?

A fraud ring is a group, or a single operator, submitting many applications or claims that look unrelated, using different names and addresses. ForMotiv recognizes similar behavioral patterns across those sessions and links them together, so SIU can work them as one case.

What is a ghost broker?

A ghost broker sells fake or fraudulently obtained insurance policies, often by misrepresenting details to a carrier on behalf of unsuspecting customers. Their sessions tend to be fast on someone else's details and slow, edited and repeated on rating answers.

Is one suspicious signal enough to flag fraud?

No. A VPN, a new phone or a trip abroad is often innocent on its own. ForMotiv weighs behavioral, device and network data together, so genuine customers are not punished for one quirk.

How does ForMotiv help SIU investigations?

SIU teams get a keystroke-level record of what happened in each session and can see linked sessions across applications and claims in the ForMotiv Console.

Can ForMotiv identify AI agents imitating people?

Yes. ForMotiv is identifying 93 AI agents and counting, keeps profiles of how each behaves and refines them as those agents change, so agents are identified even when they try to look human.
