Docuverus CEO Jamie Borodin joins Dom Beveridge on the 20for20 podcast to unpack what makes multifamily fraud so challenging to stop. He explains why fraud—and even the tools built to prevent it—are more complex than they appear, and why property management platforms need trusted verification partners like Docuverus.
SSN Fraud: The Threat Hiding in Plain Sight
Not all fraud shows up as a fake paystub. In the past six months, Docuverus flagged 706 applicants for SSN fraud — 146 in just the last 30 days.
