Agency Toughens Stance Against Consumer Fraud USA TODAY Jul 06, 05:00 AM

The FTC's newly combative stance toward crime is personified by its newest chairman, Deborah Platt Majoras, who took over in August. Although the FTC itself can file only civil lawsuits, Majoras has made cooperation with criminal prosecution of fraud a top priority and has been pushing agency attorneys to refer more cases to the Justice Department.

In late 2003, the FTC opened a new criminal-liaison office that works closely with the FBI, U.S. attorneys' offices and Postal Service inspectors. It's paying off. In May, the FTC announced the biggest enforcement sweep in its history -- 200 cases of business-opportunity fraud. At the same time, the U.S. attorney's office in Miami announced 14 related indictments.
