b) Phone call verifying customer details and information (the call must be fully recorded, the player must be warned at the beginning of the call that the call will be recorded) conducting enhanced monitoring of the business relationship, potentially by increasing the number and timing of controls applied, and identifying patterns of transactions that warrant additional scrutiny.
