United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams
Scams and fraud have become a national security threat, costing Americans more than $150 billion annually, fueling organized crime and undermining trust in communications and finance. The National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention, convened by the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program, has developed a report that proposes a coordinated national strategy to suppress fraud, modernize legal frameworks, and undermine the scams business model by making it harder for transnational criminals to prey on American households.
