This week we joined the The Aspen Institute Financial Security Program's new national task force for #fraud and #scam prevention. We’re proud to be at the table representing #telecom alongside leaders across industries and nonprofit communities to help protect #consumers. cc: Josh Bercu
Yesterday, we kicked off the steering committee of the newly forming National Task Force for Fraud and Scam Prevention. In a few short months, The Aspen Institute Financial Security Program has partnered with over 50 different institutions to drive towards solutions that will prevent criminals from accessing our (telephone, social media, commerce, finance, etc.) systems and deceiving people of hard-earned financial resources. This steering committee of impressive leaders showed up yesterday with heart and grit - sharing the mighty progress they've each made and their commitment to building a coordinated national strategy. Many more milestones to come, but having a great team makes it all seem possible! https://lnkd.in/eNYxFRdH
