Fraud today is largely run by sophisticated, large-scale operations led by transnational crime groups, stealing an estimated $158 billion from Americans in a single year. This is not just a consumer education issue \u2014 it\u2019s a national security threat that demands urgent attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why AARP has joined the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program\u2019s National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention. Alongside more than 80 organizations \u2014 including financial institutions, technology companies, law enforcement, federal agencies and consumer advocates \u2014 we helped launch a proposal for the first ever national fraud strategy that lays out a blueprint for stronger, coordinated action to combat fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This strategy marks a shift from fragmented efforts to a coordinated defense and is a critical step forward with clear pathways for government and industry to work together to establish a whole-of-society response to the fraud threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AARP is proud to be part of this effort, and we look forward to working with partners and policymakers to improve collaboration, modernize information sharing and reporting, and enhance law enforcement capabilities in the fight against fraud that harm millions of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
