Hamilton County Coalition to Stop
Fraud, Scams & Abuse
Posted: 11-11-2011
Fueled by the downturn in the economy, the prevalence of fraud and scams in our community is troubling. Consumer fraud is on the rise and vulnerable populations of our citizens are being targeted.
The Hamilton County Coalition to Stop Fraud, Scams & Abuse was formed to help prevent and fight against the exploitation of the citizens of Hamilton County. The Coalition, made up of members of the business community, law enforcement, social service agencies and local non-profits, quickly determined that educating the citizens is the only way to stop this type of crime.
The foundation of the Coalition’s work, involving an extensive amount of information, has been compiled into a Comprehensive Community Plan. A free service is also available to any business or organization through the Speakers Bureau.
To learn how to identify potential fraud or scams, how to protect yourself from becoming a victim and how to report an instance of fraud or scam to the proper law enforcement authorities, or to schedule a speaker for your business or organization, visit the Coalition’s website at http://www.hamilton-co.org/fraud.
