AFFIRM METHOD (STEP-BY-STEP)

Overview

Scammers frequently exploit fintech platforms like Affirm to obtain instant credit using stolen identities, also known as "profiles." These fraudulent profiles are crafted or purchased with the specific intent to pass automated identity and underwriting checks, allowing the scammer to make high-value purchases with no intention of repayment.

Affirm's simplified approval system, minimal friction, and buy-now-pay-later model make it a prime target for fraud involving synthetic or stolen identities.
