Credit Grooming

Credit Grooming

Often used in synthetic identities, credit grooming occurs when a fraudster opens a new account and starts by making small, legitimate purchases to build a positive transaction history and credit record. Once the synthetic identity has sufficiently established a credit history, the fraudster may use the fake identity to make other fraudulent purchases.
