Our mission is to reduce elder fraud in America.
Law enforcement is constrained by competing priorities, jurisdictional challenges, and lack of available resources to address the avalanche of fraud that is largely perpetrated by transnational organized crime rings. Private companies possess valuable data, but there is no central repository to link it with other data sets.
The National Elder Fraud Coordination Center (NEFCC) will address this problem by aggregating and analyzing private and public sector data through an organized crime lens, tying cases together and creating high dollar investigative packages for federal law enforcement investigation and prosecution.
Our goal? To play a role in dismantling the fraud business model.
