Abstract

The aim of this paper is detection of organized groups of fraudsters causing more leakage revenue for insurance industry, automobile in particular. Networks play significant roles in representing any relations between entities; thus, they are effective in distinguishing organized fraud activities. We proposed a method by which the groups of perpetrators whose relation form are cycles in the network of accidents.
