Use Case

Gift Card Fraud

Detect and prevent gift card fraud schemes — from balance draining and bulk-buy bots to laundering stolen funds through gift card purchases.

The Gift Card Fraud Threat

Gift cards have become a preferred vehicle for fraud due to their anonymity, instant liquidity, and difficulty to trace. Criminals exploit gift card systems through a variety of schemes that cost retailers and consumers billions each year.

Balance draining attacks that steal funds from gift cards before legitimate holders can use them
Card-not-present resale of stolen or fraudulently obtained gift cards on secondary markets
Bot-driven bulk purchasing that exploits promotional offers and depletes inventory at scale
Refund and return abuse using gift cards to launder proceeds from fraudulent returns
Laundering stolen funds by converting compromised payment methods into untraceable gift card balances
