Claims10
A method for detecting a risk of replacement, at a sales point, of an authentic electronic payment terminal by a fraudulent electronic payment terminal, wherein the method comprises the following acts for at least one transaction made:
- receiving at least one piece of information on a location of said transaction;
- geographically associating said transaction with said sales point when said received information on location is substantially identical to that of said sales point, delivering a number of transactions geographically associated with said sales point;
- and
- generating an alert when the number of transactions geographically associated with said sales point is above a pre-determined threshold (Si).
(canceled)
A device for detecting a risk of replacement, in a sales point, of an authentic electronic payment by a fraudulent electronic payment terminal, wherein the device comprises:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code instructions stored thereon;
- a processor configured by the program code instructions to perform acts comprising:
- receiving at least one piece of information on a location of said transaction;
- geographically associating said transaction with said sales point when said received information on location is substantially identical to that of said sales point, delivering a number of transactions geographically associated with said sales point;
- and
- generating an alert when the number of transactions geographically associated with said sales point is greater than a pre-determined threshold.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon for performing a method of detecting a risk of replacement, in a sales point, of an authentic electronic payment by a fraudulent electronic payment terminal, when the instructions are executed by a processor, wherein the instructions configure the processor to perform acts comprising:
- receiving at least one piece of information on a location of said transaction;
- geographically associating said transaction with said sales point when said received information on location is substantially identical to that of said sales point, delivering a number of transactions geographically associated with said sales point;
- and
- generating an alert when the number of transactions geographically associated with said sales point is greater than a pre-determined threshold.
