According to Congress, Americans lose nearly $40 billion each year to fraudulent marketing.
Every day, con artists contact people by telephone, mail and over the internet with new scams. The criminals pretend to offer jobs, credit cards, lottery tickets or "can't miss" investments. They might ask you to make a donation, or pay taxes to claim a big prize. You know the story is a fraud when they tell you to send money "RIGHT AWAY!"
If you ever do business with a dishonest telemarketer, your name may get added to a list of interested buyers. Criminals buy these lists from each other, or from legitimate sources. They target the people on the list with all kinds of fraudulent offers.
Any one of us could be the next victim.
Now, we are taking the next step to end financial exploitation. With help from the AARP Foundation, we have opened a call center where volunteers gather to contact fraud victims and other people at risk. The Fraud Fighter volunteers talk about current scams, offer tips on avoiding fraud, and provide referrals to local agencies. We have already reached thousands of consumers, and they are grateful for the information.
