    Fraud Prevention Month

    The Fraud Prevention Month initiative is a series of education campaigns run every year by ICPEN members under a common theme but focusing on an issue relevant to each individual participating agency.

    Through this initiative we educate consumers and businesses about scams and furnish them with appropriate information on how to protect themselves from falling prey to unfair businesses.

    Each year ICPEN participants implement various Fraud Prevention Month activities. We have addressed such topics as:

    • deceptive and aggressive retail tactics used to lure consumers into an agreement,
    • identity theft,
    • phishing,
    • misleading advertising,
    • legal requirements concerning pricing information and labelling,
    • online shopping,
    • false lottery and business directories,
    • health fraud.

    Often our campaigns target particular audiences including the young, the elderly, small businesses and charities, and have a range of community, non-government, and private sector organisations as partners.
