Platform Tumbling Check

Fraudsters Have a Playbook. It Starts with Email Tumbling.

Fraudsters don’t need thousands of stolen emails to create fake accounts. They only need one duplicated and slightly altered email to bypass security measures.

• The Tactic: Small tweaks like dots, plus signs, or added characters make one email look like many.
• The Goal: Abuse promos, create synthetic identities, and sneak past fraud detection.
• The Problem for You: Traditional verification systems don’t catch these variations.

Fraudsters tweak email addresses by doing things like adding dots, plus signs, or small variations to create multiple fake accounts that slip past security. AtData’s platform tumbling check spots these tricks, linking suspicious variations back to the same source and stopping fraud early.

How Email Tumbling is Used

Mass Account Creation

Fraudster Move:

• Modifies an email (e.g., [email protected] → [email protected] → [email protected])
• Uses variations to create hundreds of fake accounts that appear unique but lead to the same inbox.

AtData’s Countermove:

• Detects tumbled email structures across all major providers.
• Flags multiple variations of the same email before fraudsters exploit them.

Promo & Discount Abuse

Fraudster Move:

• Uses tumbled emails to claim multiple promo codes and referral bonuses.
• Bypasses “one-per-customer” rules, inflating redemption rates.

AtData’s Countermove:

• Recognizes mass sign-ups from tumbled emails and blocks repeat redemptions.
• Protects marketing campaigns from fake user inflation.

Dormant Fraud Accounts

Fraudster Move:

• Creates thousands of inactive accounts using tumbled emails.
• Lets them “age” to appear legitimate before using them for fraudulent transactions or account takeovers.

AtData’s Countermove:

• Tracks email engagement history and behavioral signals to identify dormant, high-risk accounts.
• Flags suspicious sign-ups before fraud spreads.

What Happens When You Ignore Email Tumbling?

• Lost Revenue: Promo abuse drains marketing budgets with no real customer value.
• Fraudulent Transactions: Synthetic identities and bot-driven accounts lead to chargebacks and compliance risks.
• Compromised Customer Data: Fake accounts pollute your system, making analytics unreliable.
• Brand Damage: Legitimate customers miss out on deals while fraudsters cash in.
