Subject: Use of Unsupervised models for fraud detection

From KDnuggets Forums:

Has anybody come across the use of cluster analysis/other unsupervised models for fraud detection. I'm facing a specific challenge to use an unsupervised model for detecting fraud. The dataset does not have a specific variable as a target/dependent variable.

This is in the field of Health Insurance. I'm unable to divulge too many details in this regard. But the kind of variables we have here are similar to what we encounter in Banking - Credit Card Fraud etc...
