A Little History. . .
CrimeDex was created in 2000 to address the needs of professional fraud investigators frustrated by the lack of information sharing between banks, credit unions, retailers, and law enforcement. The result was duplicated investigations, waste of time and resources, and suspects getting away with blatant fraud crimes.
Today, our CrimeDex service is both an investigative system for the criminal investigation community and fraud prevention system for the financial services sector. Our primary CrimeDex service is focused on fraudulent checks and fraud suspects database. Our users enter their fraud information either individually on a web interface, or by file transfer in large batches.
As investigators search and enter case information, the system enables the matching of related fraud records and allows investigators to collaborate, in real time, with their peers in the investigative community. An agency's investigators' efforts are streamlined and maximized. What often seems a small fraud case may in reality be part of a large ring. Our system was built as a professional investigator's tool. However our financial institution customers asked how to use our data not only for crime investigation, but prevention as well.
To provide a prevention solution we have partnered with eFunds/ChexSystems to provide our suspect data to their FraudFinder Alerts hotlist service. Now when a financial institution runs a name, address, phone number, driver's license, or SSN through FraudFinder, it will check our suspects database for matches. If you are a CrimeDex member and FraudFinder user, when you receive a match in FraudFinder you can log into our network and search the databases and alerts for the matching information. If you confirm the match is related information, you can contact directly the CrimeDex member who entered the suspect's information to find out additional information.
Membership In CrimeDex
Membership is limited to criminal investigators from among the following:
- Public Sector Law Enforcement (Federal, state, county, and municipal law enforcement officers and approved staff).
- Corporate Investigators at federal or state chartered financial institutions.
- Corporate Investigators at corporations with at least $5 million in net assets.
Because the security of our membership base is of prime importance, Amcrin must approve both the overall corporate/agency membership and individual membership applications before granting access to the system. The membership is reviewed periodically for removal of those members in violation of our terms of service, or who have left their original employers.
