Consumer Fraud Claims - Deceptive Trade Practices

According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, a trade group of accountants who are often called in when fraud is suspected or discovered, U.S. losses from fraud was an estimated $638 billion in 2005, up from $600 billion in 2002 and $400 billion in 1996.

In the wake of massive corporate fraud as evidenced by the scandals of high profile companies like Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Anderson and Xerox, tougher new laws were enacted to fight corporate fraud and abuse. Still, the incidence of fraud is rampant. Employees, investors and shareholders continue to suffer harm.
