Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for detecting transactional fraud can involve, for a transaction associated with a first transaction location and account holder, receiving a request for mobile location information associated with the account holder. Mobile location information associated with the account holder may then be obtained, wherein the mobile location information is derived from mobility management signaling messages or other data associated with a mobile communication device used by the account holder. The mobile location information associated with the account holder can then be provided to the requestor. The mobile location information may be compared against the first transaction location to determine, at least in part, whether the transaction is fraudulent.
