About the Fraud Risk Lists
Filters whose name includes “Risk List” make use of lists that the Fraud Protections Services
manage. Extensive statistical analysis of millions of e-commerce transactions is performed to
determine transaction data elements (for example BIN numbers or ZIP codes) that are
statistically more likely than average to be correlated with fraudulent transactions.
Inclusion in a Risk List is not an absolute indication of fraud, only a statistical correlation that
indicates that you should evaluate the transaction more closely (and in conjunction with other
filter results for the transaction).
