CPB regularly prosecutes large-scale criminal and civil cases involving domestic and international consumer fraud schemes. CPB devotes particular attention to stopping scams that disproportionately target or affect older Americans, including through its coordination of the Department’s Transnational Elder Fraud Strike Force. CPB has particular expertise in bringing civil injunctive actions under 18 U.S.C. § 1345 to stop ongoing consumer frauds. CPB is available to partner with, provide guidance, and offer resources to USAOs.

CPB also advances the Department’s Servicemembers and Veterans Initiative by investigating and prosecuting fraud targeting U.S. servicemembers and veterans.
