Thursday 27th June 2013 - NEFF 10th Anniversary Annual Conference - RIP-OFF BRITAIN?
Venue: Club 206, Newcastle United Football Club, St James Park, St James Boulevard, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4ST.
Scams, cons and deception have long been an everyday occurrence for business and individuals, from fake invoicing and staged accidents to fake lotteries, investment frauds and romance scams. Many are long-standing; others adapt or expand as technology or the current financial climate provide opportunity and incentive. The conference will include presentations and case studies on a range of such frauds and what businesses and individuals can do to protect themselves.
North East Fraud Forum Strategic Plan 2011 - 2013
A message from the Chairman of the North East Fraud Forum - Alan Brown.
It is with continued pride and pleasure that I am able to present the North East Fraud Forum (NEFF) Strategy for 2011/13. When we embarked on the development of the NEFF our intention was to create an organisation aimed at filling a gap in the fight against fraud. We had a concept and the dynamism to be creative in the manner with which we addressed fraudulent activity. That was in 2003; this strategy will cover the period up to 2013, which will see us celebrate our first decade in existence.
A decade on, the key messages have not changed; we can all be victims of fraud in its many guises, some not readily apparent. If we have learnt anything it is that individuals and organisations need to be ever vigilant in the fight against fraud. As we identify the fraudsters' activities so the next fraud is developing. Initially we discussed identity and credit card frauds (still very much a threat). However new terminology has entered our ‘fraud' dictionary. Who amongst us were conversant with words such as ‘boiler room fraud', ‘phishing' and ‘mortgage fraud' until, recently?
The development of this strategy coincides with the release of the National Fraud Authority's research indicating that the true extent of fraud loss in the United Kingdom totals £38.3 billion annually.
