“JPMorgan Chase commends the Scam Center Strike Force for taking action to combat scams globally, including bringing justice to bad actors using phone spoofing to target American consumers. These efforts reflect the need for close coordination and collaboration across the ecosystem – government, law enforcement, financial institutions, social media companies, and telecommunications providers – to protect consumers from fraud and scams and stop these crimes at the source.” - Melissa Feldsher, Head of Payments, Consumer and Community Banking
BPI appreciates today’s announcement from the Department of Justice and its Scam Center Strike Force partners. The coordinated actions taken against Southeast Asian scam operations — including charges, cryptocurrency restraints and the takedown of hundreds of fraudulent websites — reflect the kind of sustained, whole-of-government commitment needed to protect Americans from these schemes.
Banks are on the front lines of detecting and disrupting fraud, and we look forward to continued collaboration with law enforcement to combat the scams targeting our customers and communities
