\/1\/ email address underwriting. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s a complicated way to say: “Does the email match the real name?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Lawrence.chiang@gmail.com<\/a> says I pay my bills at all 3 homes. Larreeeeeeeee@yahoo<\/a> says I have about 3-5 charge offs and my FICO is below 654. Larry@duck9.com<\/a> says I work at a 5 person company with no revenue. Chiang9@duck9<\/a> says I’m employed and possibly the CEO. LarryChiang@ucms.com<\/a> looks like I’m impersonating a 42 year old executive.

– Is the email attached to Amazon. This shows the credit applicant can read a book and in theory has bought one. So they’re employable<\/span><\/div>\n

\n– is the email attached to fB. This means they went to college. And aren’t embarrassed by their current socio Econ rank. If you’re on fB, you’re happily paying bills and going into small debt posting Vegas birthday pics. FICO 760.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n– Is the email attached to something real or can they drop that email address once someone needs $300 from them.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
2\/\u00a0remember you were thinking about this for the Chinese market and using people’s prepaid cellular service history as a credit predictor.<\/i><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

\nAd hoc is free. A real software with API calls is $2mm -$12,000,000. By ad hoc I mean hamster wheeling the back end. By ad hoc I mean stringing together a thing with duct tape like magyver (the tv show)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
[ Ad hoc is 90% of the goodness and you don’t need to pay larry Chiang one cent ]<\/span><\/div>\n
Age of cell phone.<\/span><\/div>\n
Does the prefix contain an area code.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
What service is the cell phone under<\/span><\/div>\n
Does the billing zip match the applicant zip code<\/span><\/div>\n
Can the person answer a text in under a week?<\/span><\/div>\n
Is the effen cell phone google voice. Because google voice is almost always fraud :-))<\/span><\/div>\n
What device are you using. Is it paid off or are you doing payments iPhone 9 means you’re friends with Steve Jobs. iPhone 4 says you’re a Jedi in Business Admin<\/a>
\nCell phone prefix block
\nWas the cellphone ever a landline that was ported.
\nAnd a hundred others data splices. Text 650-283-8008 for more.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

– what happens when you google the eMail address or Google their cellphone number?<\/span><\/div>\n
