LOCATION FRAUD DETECTION

A method includes receiving, at a fraud management device, at least one BSID associated with communication data from at least one MTC device. The fraud management device determines a location associated with the at least one BSID. Relevant data elements are selected from the communication data. The fraud management device applies known domain rules to the communication data and identifies a connectivity pattern for the at least one MTC device based on the communication data. An anomaly detection model is applied to particular communication data associated with a particular MTC device based on the connectivity pattern, and at least one anomaly from the identified connection pattern is detected based on the anomaly detection model.
