Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate in part to determining a testing model and providing a testing transaction score for transactions. The testing transaction score may indicate a likelihood that the transaction is a testing transaction. One embodiment of the invention discloses a method comprising receiving a first authorization message for a first transaction using an account, determining a testing transaction score for the first transaction using a testing model, and determining that the first transaction is a testing transaction based on the testing transaction score, wherein the testing transaction score for the first transaction is used for declining a second transaction using the same account conducted after the first transaction.
