Classifying a message based on fraud indicators
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for classifying a message, comprising:
- a memory;
a communications interface, wherein the communications interface receives the message over a communications network; and
a processor, wherein the processor executes instructions stored in memory to;
maintain a database for storing a plurality of signatures,identify a plurality of fraud indicators in the message,generate a signature for the message,compare the generated signature to a signature stored in the database, the stored signature based on a statistical analysis of fraud indicators in a second message associated with the stored signature,determine that the message is fraudulent based on the comparison; and
process the message based on the determination that the message is a fraudulent message.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and media for classifying messages are disclosed. A plurality of fraud indicators are identified in the message. A signature of the message is generated. The generated signature of the message is compared to a stored signature. The stored signature is based on a statistical analysis of fraud indicators in a second message associated with the stored signature. A determination as to whether the message is fraudulent is made based on the comparison. The message is processed based on the determination that the message is a fraudulent message.

18. A system for classifying a message, comprising:
-
a memory; a communications interface, wherein the communications interface receives the message over a communications network; a processor, wherein the processor executes instructions stored in memory to; extract a plurality of reference points from a body of the message, each reference point being information used to contact a referenced entity; classify each of the plurality of reference points based on a source associated with each reference point; determine whether the message is a fraudulent message appearing to be from a legitimate source based on the classified reference points; and process the message based on the determination of whether the message is a fraudulent message appearing to be from a legitimate source. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
