Fraud Prevention 

Fraud prevention works best when stakeholders share information and work together to combat the efforts of criminals. The IPA works with its members, law enforcement, and outside companies to help fight fraud in all of its forms. We do this by working with our members and educating consumers and congressional leaders on best practices for fraud prevention.

Comment Letters

The IPA submits comment letters to advocate for the interests of our members. In relation to fraud prevention, these are recent letters:
  • RFI and Comment on Customer Identification Rule Taxpayer Identification Number Collection Requirement (May 2024)

Internet Crime

Representatives from the FBI joined the IPA to explain how the Bureau uses information from Suspicious Activity Reports and how the Internet Crimes Complaint Center can help companies and their customers respond to cybercrime. After the webinar, the FBI shared the following documents:
  • Recovery Asset Team Complaint Process
  • Internet Crime Complaint Center
  • 2022 Internet Crime Report
  • Elder Fraud

Elder Fraud

Fraudsters disproportionately target older adults. Unfortunately, while scams can impact anyone, data shows they have a devastating effect on seniors. They lose more money and are less likely to report it. This IPA and Federal Trade Commission created: "How to Help Older Adults Spot, Avoid, and Report Fraud," which helps you:
  • Recognize common scammer tactics
  • Empower older adults to protect themselves
  • Learn how to report fraud effectively

Past Webinars

As part of IPA's ongoing efforts to mitigate and raise awareness of fraud, the association has hosted a number of webinars, which can be viewed on YouTube:​​

Consumer Fraud Support

​The Innovative Payments Association works with our member companies, not individuals, so we cannot offer individual or specific advice tailored to your specific situation.  Thus, we cannot directly help you respond to a scam if you are a victim or have been taken advantage of by a fraudster.  However, we can provide general guidance and you identify key publicly available resources that can help you if you are the victim of a scam.
