An intelligence system that identifies hidden COVID-19 fraud against Government Departments, Banking, Insurance and Organisations

COVID-19导致有组织犯罪集团使用多个或被盗身份进行欺诈的数量激增。据估计，针对英国政府的疫情欺诈包括针对休假计划的35亿英镑（BBC，2020年）以及与反弹贷款计划有关的260亿英镑欺诈（NAO，2020年）。与旅行相关的欺诈性COVID-19索赔看起来将超过3.65亿英镑，这是2017/18年度该行业的索赔总成本（ABI，2020年）。目前，没有允许记录共享的系统，这使得从业人员几乎不可能识别多个和欺诈性索赔。（Montague）是一家专门从事系统开发的英国中小企业，旨在解决这一重大的、未满足的全球需求。它将使用人工智能来预测欺诈，并使用新的索赔模块来管理与疾病相关的欺诈，这可以显著减少针对组织的重复和隐藏欺诈，增强警察能力，并产生500万英镑的项目后5年收入。项目影响：3- 6个月-正在进行的用户接受试验/反馈12个月-减少犯罪=用户节省的资金和时间18个月-由此节省的资金将加强微薄的行业利润，节省工作岗位，创造新的工作岗位。蒙塔古将需要额外的工作人员来服务这个市场。

COVID-19 has caused a surge in fraud by organised crime groups using multiple or stolen identities. Estimates for pandemic fraud against the UK Government include £3.5bn against the Furlough Scheme (BBC, 2020) and perhaps 26bn of fraud relating to the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (NAO, 2020).An 140% rise in bogus COVID related claims against airlines and hotels claiming negligence in applying the Government guidelines has been identified (Travolution, 2020). Travel related fraudulent COVID-19 claims look set to exceed £365 million, the total cost of claims to the industry in 2017/18 (ABI, 2020).Currently, there is no system that permits record sharing, making it virtually impossible for practitioners to identify multiple and fraudulent claims.Montague Sykes Limited (Montague) is a UK SME specialising in system development that aims to solve this significant, unmet global need. It will use AI to predict fraud and a new claims module to manage illness related fraud that could significantly reduce repeat and hidden fraud against organisations, enhance police capability and generate a year-5 post-project revenue of £5M. Project impacts:3- 6 months - ongoing user acceptance trials/ feedback12 months - crime reduction = money and timed saved by users18 months - resulting savings will strengthen thin industry margins saving jobs saved and new jobs created. Montague will require additional staff to service this market.
