The Orange County Fraud Education Task Force's first meeting in mid-October drew representatives from the FBI and Secret Service as well as officials from local consumer agencies and banks.
Officials at the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Orange County, which is coordinating the group, said they had begun collecting information for a resource list that will define which types of complaints each agency handles. CCCS also plans to start circulating a bimonthly newsletter summarizing fraud trends and variations reported by task-force members.
