Agoura Hills, Calif.-based Interthinx, a provider of fraud prevention, compliance, and decision support tools, has launched an online testing mechanism in conjunction with its fraud detection training film, FSI: Fraud Scheme Investigation.The FSI video is a mortgage fraud detection training tool produced by Interthinx. The film parodies CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the popular prime-time television series, to demonstrate the characteristics and "red flags" of a complicated property-flipping scheme, the company said. FSI was inspired by actual events and is free to the mortgage industry. The free online FSI Exam Program will provide a means to measure learning achieved by watching the FSI film. The announcement of the online testing mechanism was made at the Mortgage Bankers Association's 93rd Annual Convention. The company can be found on the Web at http://www.interthinx.com.
