Fraud detection on dynamic graph (FDDG) is in high demand across many real-world applications, such as financial transaction networks and social networks. A graph neural network (GNN) is an advanced methodology for learning graph data and has been widely adopted in fraud detection tasks. Despite the promising results, research on GNN-based fraud detection faces two critical challenges. First, due to the lack of temporal consistency mining in existing methods, camouflaged fraudsters can easily evade detection by imitating the behavioral patterns of benign users. Second, with constantly evolving fraud patterns and a scarcity of fraud samples, existing methods can easily overfit to current fraud patterns and struggle to identify the evolved and new ones. To address these challenges, we propose CamFD, a semi-supervised camouflage-aware fraud detection model on dynamic graphs. To detect the temporal inconsistency in the behavioral patterns of camouflaged fraudsters, CamFD is equipped with a novel consistency-sensitive contrastive learning (CSCL) module. CSCL discriminatively learns the consistency and inconsistency in users’ behavioral patterns by constructing temporal and structural contrastive pairs. Since modeling the evolving fraud patterns with sparse fraud samples is almost impractical, CamFD concentrates on modeling the relatively stable patterns of extensive benign users with a multivariate Gaussian distribution modeling (MGDM) module. We conduct extensive experiments on a private credit card fraud dataset as well as three public datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that CamFD outperforms ten state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines across all datasets, with the area under ROC curve (AUC) improvements ranging from 1.03% to 5.32%.
