Recognizing Red Flags in Fraud Cases

In my work as a Fraud Detection Analyst, I’ve noticed certain patterns that often signal potential fraud. For instance, a sudden increase in transactions from an account, especially if they deviate from the typical spending behavior, is a red flag. I’m curious to hear what other patterns or signs you’ve encountered in your investigations that helped you uncover fraudulent activities?
