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.
