MORTGAGE FRAUD DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A fraud detection system to detect fraud in a financial loan application process by analyzing a plurality of data from multiple sources, the system comprising:
- one or more interfaces configured to receive data from a plurality of unique data sources, the data comprising data records comprising at least one of information related to a financial loan application, parties involved in a loan transaction, and property involved in a financial loan;
a database configured to receive data from the plurality of unique data sources and to store the data with an identifier configured to distinguish data received from the plurality of unique data sources;
a processing module configured to determine if one or more of the data records contain one or more matching data fields and to flag data records containing the one or more matching data fields by storing match information in a table; and
the processing module further configured to determine if one or more of the flagged data records contain different information in one or more other data fields contained in the data records and storing information corresponding to differences in the table.

Abstract
Mortgage fraud detection systems and methods are provided. A fraud detection system can generally comprise a database operator, a database manager, one or more users, and a database. Database components can be implemented as hardware, software, or a combination of both. A fraud detection method can generally comprise providing a database for maintaining a plurality of records. Data records can be continually received by a database in batchwise or single submission protocols. Records can be compared to determine whether they contain common data in one or more predetermined fields. If records contain common data in one or more predetermined fields, records can be examined for inconsistencies in one or more other data fields. Discovered inconsistencies and magnitudes of inconsistencies can be warning signs of fraud. Results of comparisons can be reported to system users to enable such users to investigate additional circumstances. Other embodiments and features are also claimed and described in the application.
