Fraud protection resource

Monday, June 21st, 2010 | consulting

When times get tough, more people try imaginative (and illegal) ways to outsmart the system or take advantage of others. We’ve seen it during this recession in Ponzi schemes (e.g., Madoff and Bolze), unemployment insurance fraud, bank fraud, mortgage fraud, and more. Recently, the Federal government set up the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Tax Force to improve enforcement actions and to help us protect ourselves from fraud. They launched the website StopFraud.gov as a central point for news and information on financial fraud.

As consumers and as business owners, we need protective measures to reduce our risk of becoming fraud victims. You may find some useful information on this website. For more specific help in boosting your fraud protection, please feel free to contact us.
