What the work involves

You author fraud cases the way they actually arrive: an alert, a partial record set, a subject who may or may not be the perpetrator. A scenario runs from that first trigger through the investigative steps a competent investigator would take — pulling transaction histories, reconciling timestamps and device data, checking counterparty relationships, deciding when an interview is warranted and what it would realistically produce — to a defensible disposition. Alongside each scenario you write the reference answer: not just the conclusion, but the chain of inference that supports it, including the branches you considered and closed out.

The second half of the job is grading. You read model attempts at your scenarios and judge them on investigative soundness rather than fluency. The failure mode the labs care most about is the confident narrative that outruns the record — a model that names a scheme, assigns intent, or recommends a SAR filing on evidence that would not survive a supervisor's review. Marking those precisely, with a written reason tied to the specific evidentiary gap, is the highest-value thing you produce.

What the platform screens for

  • Verifiable casework, not familiarity with fraud as a subject. Expect follow-ups on volumes, typologies you personally worked, and how dispositions were documented.
  • Domain depth in one lane — card-not-present and chargeback disputes, insurance claim fraud and SIU referral, AML alert adjudication and SAR narrative, or corporate/internal investigations. Breadth is welcome; a genuine specialty is what gets you assigned.
  • Evidence discipline under pressure: whether you can articulate the difference between an indicator, an inference, and a supported finding, and where you would refuse to conclude.
  • Written clarity, since the artifact is prose reasoning that a lab researcher with no fraud background has to follow.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous, with a stated minimum of 10 hours per week and no fixed shifts. Volume scales week to week, so investigators who can flex up during heavy batches tend to stay busiest. Pay is observed in the $70–85/hr range, set from experience at onboarding and paid weekly via Stripe. CFE, law enforcement or regulatory background, and SAR filing or expert testimony experience are preferred rather than required, and generally influence which case types you are routed.
