Combine email validation, domain intelligence, and IP analysis to create a comprehensive fraud detection layer. Verify data authenticity before investing in expensive document verification and biometric checks.

Multi-Signal Risk Assessment

Layer email validation, domain intelligence, and IP analysis to catch synthetic identities. Cross-verify data points to identify inconsistencies that single checks might miss.

Real-Time Validation Signals

Access instant validation results including email deliverability, disposable detection, domain age verification, DNS health, VPN/proxy detection, and IP reputation scoring.

Silent Background Checks

Verify customers and ensure KYC and AML compliance without friction or affecting the user experience. Our APIs work silently in the background during sign-up flows.

Global Compliance Ready

GDPR-compliant data processing with audit trails. Protect against synthetic identities worldwide while maintaining regulatory compliance across all jurisdictions.

Catch Synthetic Identities with Data Validation

Documents can be stolen or tampered, but legitimate email addresses and IP connections leave verifiable signals. Our AI algorithms analyze email deliverability, domain intelligence, and IP reputation to spot fabricated identities instantly.

✓ Genuine Customer

Verify Genuine Customers with Ease

Verified Email Address

Deliverable email from established domain with proper DNS configuration. Domain shows age, SSL certificates, and clean blocklist status. Email passes all validation checks without disposable or role-based indicators.

Trusted IP Connection

Residential or mobile IP from trusted provider with consistent geolocation. Clean blocklist status without VPN, proxy, or Tor indicators. Verified WHOIS and reverse DNS matching expected patterns.

Low Risk Assessment

AI risk score indicating legitimate user with all validation checks passed. Email domain established with proper infrastructure. IP connection consistent with location and device type.

⚠ Suspicious Sign-up

Spot Suspicious Sign-ups in Seconds

Suspicious Email Signals

Disposable, temporary, or free email addresses from untrusted providers. New domain with incomplete DNS records, missing SSL, or blocklist presence. Failed deliverability checks or role-based email indicators.

High-Risk IP Connection

VPN, proxy, Tor, or datacenter IP detected masking true location. Geolocation mismatch with stated address or expected region. Blocklist presence or connection from known fraud networks.

Elevated Risk Score

Multiple fraud indicators across email and IP validation. Pattern matching synthetic identity characteristics with fabricated credentials. Combination of disposable email, new domain, and anonymized IP connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is synthetic identity fraud?

Synthetic identity fraud occurs when criminals create fake identities by combining real and fabricated information. Unlike traditional identity theft, synthetic identities don't belong to real people, making them harder to detect. Fraudsters use these identities to open accounts, build credit, and eventually commit large-scale fraud.

How do Email and IP Insights help detect synthetic identity fraud?

Opportify validates data authenticity through multiple layers. Email Insights checks deliverability, identifies disposable/temporary addresses, validates DNS and domain configuration, assesses domain age and reputation, and detects role-based emails. IP Insights analyzes geolocation consistency, detects VPN/proxy/Tor usage, checks IP reputation and blocklists, verifies ISP information, and identifies datacenter connections. Together, they provide comprehensive risk signals that help identify suspicious patterns typical of synthetic identities.

What digital signals indicate a synthetic identity?

Key indicators include disposable or temporary email addresses, newly registered domains with incomplete DNS configuration, failed email deliverability checks, missing SSL certificates or blocklist presence, VPN or proxy usage to hide true location, datacenter IP connections instead of residential, geolocation mismatches with stated information, and combinations of these risk factors that suggest fabricated credentials rather than legitimate users.

Can this replace traditional KYC and document verification?

No, email and IP validation serves as a powerful pre-screening layer that complements traditional KYC processes. It helps you identify high-risk applications before investing in expensive biometric authentication and document checks. This reduces costs by filtering obvious fraudsters early, speeds up onboarding for legitimate users, and adds an additional security layer that documents alone cannot provide.

How accurate is synthetic identity detection?

Our AI algorithms analyze multiple validation signals to provide risk scores from 200 to 1000. While no system is 100% accurate, combining email validation (deliverability, domain intelligence, email type detection) with IP analysis (VPN/proxy detection, geolocation, reputation) significantly improves detection rates. You can configure your own risk thresholds and rules based on your specific tolerance and industry requirements, allowing you to balance security with user experience.

Is this solution compliant with GDPR and other regulations?

Yes, Opportify is fully GDPR-compliant and follows data protection regulations worldwide. We process only necessary data for fraud prevention, maintain comprehensive audit trails, support data subject rights, and provide transparent data processing documentation. Our APIs enable you to implement compliant fraud prevention across all jurisdictions.

How quickly can I get results during customer onboarding?

Our APIs return comprehensive risk assessments in real-time, typically within 200-500 milliseconds. This allows you to make instant decisions during sign-up flows without affecting user experience. The passive nature of our checks means legitimate customers never experience friction while suspicious applications are flagged immediately.

What industries benefit most from synthetic identity detection?

Financial services (banking, lending, insurance), e-commerce and marketplaces, payment processors, cryptocurrency platforms, online gaming and betting, subscription services, and any business with digital onboarding processes. Any organization facing account opening fraud or needing to meet KYC/AML compliance requirements can benefit significantly.
