The purpose of this program is to detect fraud on twitter. It does this by targeting a specific companies handle (for example @sprint). It then will read any twitter user that complains to @sprint and begins monitoring for people responding to that tweet that are offering help. If they are not an official supported account then they are marked as fraudulent.

• Twitter API to read tweets @handle
• Nodejs sentiment to determine if tweet is a complaint
• If tweet is a complaint store using MongoDB

• Use Twitter API to search the handle of the people who tweeted @handle
• Match in_reply_to_status_id_str to complaining tweet
• Determine if helpful
  • Note: Currently this simply searches through a list of monitored common words. in the future TF-IDF could be used monitoring the official account.
• Verify replying users account
• Store relevant info in MongoDB

• Standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript front extended
• PassportJS local login method
• Users stored in Nodejs
• Stylized datatables plugin to show tweet info

• In high volume case ass many twitter app keys can be used as are required and will function in a round robin manner.
• Nodejs
• MongoDB

• server/config/authorization.json

• Salt to be implemented

{uname:"criggs626",password:"ijhzgdfiuhasdoifjaosifgadsf",email:"[email protected]",name:"Caleb Riggs"}

• Required for searching tweets and verifying responses

{name : "Sprint", terms : [ "@sprint", "#sprint" ], verified : [ "sprintcare" ], lastID : [ "0", "0" ] }

• required for monitoring general statistics on the search terms

{name:"Sprint",count:0,negativeCount:0,averageScore:0,averageNegativeScore:0,validRepliesFound:0,fraudulentRepliesFound:0}

• Foreground

To run in the foreground simply navigate to the server and 'node' the index file.

cd WORKING_PATH/fraud/server/
node index.js

• Background

For running in the background I recommend forever a node package. Once forever is installed follow same steps as above just 'forever start' instead of 'node'.

cd WORKING_PATH/fraud/server/
forever start index.js
