Generally speaking, the purpose of a fraud investigator is to identify fraudulent activity. A fraud investigator may carry out a range of activities depending on what industry they are working in. For example, a fraud investigator in a retail environment would typically carry out activities such as identifying use of credit/debit cards reported lost or stolen and also suspicious refunds.
They may be required to conduct interviews with employees and suspected customers to gain evidence, compile detailed reports on fraud cases, and submit and discuss these cases with the police and at court.
