Fraud continues to grow at an alarming rate, reaching $660 billion in 2004¹. That’s more money lost to fraud every year than the entire 2005 U.S. military budget, including campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq²! Law enforcement and our judicial system would like to get tough. However, with their emphasis on violent crimes, drugs and homeland security, resources are stretched too thin to provide an effective deterrent to financial crimes. This means the only practical defense against fraud damage and loss is to protect yourself!
