1. A method of determining fraudulent activity, the method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving, over a first network, information identifying the location of an electronic device;

    receiving, over a second network, information identifying the location of a wireless device associated with a user;

    caching the information identifying the location of the wireless device for comparison with the information identifying the location of the electronic device;

    associating a date and time of the cached information identifying the location of the wireless device with the information identifying the location of the electronic device;

    generating a comparison of the cached information identifying the location of the wireless device with the information identifying the location of the electronic device;

    evaluating results of the comparison based on proximity of the compared locations;

    applying an algorithmic value to the results indicating a relative degree of proximity of the location of the wireless device with the location of the electronic device; and

    sending the algorithmic value to a processing system configured to determine, based on the algorithmic value, the authenticity of the identity of the user.
