User interface for fraud detection system
In an online marketplace, buyers and sellers engage in transactions. Some transactions are fraudulent. The online marketplace uses a fraud detection system that identifies fraudulent transactions before an account holder is defrauded. In some example embodiments of the systems and methods described herein, a fraud detection system uses information that is indirectly associated with a transaction to determine if the transaction is fraudulent. A user interface is provided that shows relationships between accounts and objects. In response to input received via the user interface, the fraud detection system performs an action on an account, an object, or a transaction.

determining, by one or more processors, a fraud score for a first account of a user of an online marketplace;
determining that the first account and a second account have both used data included in an item listing, the item listing describes an item for sale at the online marketplace;
based on the first account and the second account having both used the data, causing presentation, at a user interface, of:
a first graphical element that represents an identity of the first account;
a second graphical element that represents an identity of the data included in the item listing;
a first line connecting the first graphical element to the second graphical element, an attribute of the first line being based on the fraud score for the first account;
a third graphical element that represents an identity of the second account;
a second line connecting the second graphical element to the third graphical element, wherein the first graphical element, the second graphical element, the first line, the third graphical element, and the second line indicates that both the first account and the second account have used the data included in the item listing; and
in response to a user input received via the user interface, performing an action related to the first account, wherein the action comprises at least one of: canceling a transaction, or disabling the first account, the user input indicating the first graphical element.
