Fraud Disruption Working Groups

Working Groups Information

Fraud Disruption Working Groups

We look forward to coordinating with federal, state, and local employees with the goal to curtail victimization related to relationship investment scams, referred to by the operators as “pig butchering.” We hope to foster a collaborative environment where resources and information can be shared.

Below you can sign up for one or more of our working groups to combat this financial fraud. Please feel free to share the link to the working groups with others. Currently, participation is limited to employees of federal, state, or local government entities.

TECHNOLOGY DISRUPTION GROUP
