I worked on one of these Fraud detection systems at Airbnb. Statistically, You are in 1% population with the your usage patterns. For most part, all ML models which are used to detect fraud have to take a trade off between precision/recall - meaning how often they let good guys suffer vs let bad guys in. BUt what most of these systems are missing is the appeal and escape path.

Are there any such systems that do have effective escape/appeal paths? If so, what do they look like?

Even if they exist, I am willing to bet they consume the limited time and energy of the people whose only crime was not living the same lifestyle as 99% of everyone else.
