The Mountain State Fraud and Diversion Task Force will target fraud across West Virginia. U.S. Attorneys Matthew L. Harvey and Moore Capito created the group with federal, state and local partners and the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office.
Members first gathered in Clarksburg at the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services facility, according to a November 10 release from the U.S. attorneys’ offices. The Mountain State Fraud and Diversion Task Force plans to meet twice a year.
“This task force will collaborate to fight fraud in every corner – from healthcare to insurance to tax to personal fraud. If you are scheming, we will find you, charge you, and convict you,” Harvey said in the release.
The National Fraud Detection Center briefed participants on fraud trends and investigative resources. The National Fraud Enforcement Division, which the U.S. Department of Justice announced in April to investigate and prosecute fraud against the American public, discussed analytics and asset recovery.
