fraud prevention - Get the age of a Gmail account -
my team discussing how can improve fraud prevention algorithms on customer's platform. it's not surprising email addresses used in fraudulent activities registered free mail providers such gmail.
one criterion missing input our fraud prevention system, give valuable information, age of account.
is there api method (or other way) allow query when gmail account registered?
something https://api.gmail.com/age-of-account/email.address@gmail.com, returns date of or timespan since creation, useful.
you cannot when account created through existing google api. rid of lot of low hanging fruit along these lines though, using gmail api:
- list message ids until there no
nextpagetoken
in response. have gotten last page of message ids. - get last message , check if
internaldate
lower cut-off value.
this no great solution, since targeted attacker insert message custom date-header, might worth having metric of many others in algorithm.
