October 25, 2006 – Miami, FL

These symposia, which built upon our 2005 symposia series on identity theft, facilitate a dialogue on the risks of and solutions for e-commerce and payment system fraud. These crimes can lead to a loss of confidence in online banking and retail transactions, and potentially to identity theft. Panels of experts from government, the banking industry, consumer organizations and law enforcement will discuss efforts to combat these types of fraud and educate consumers on the safe use of e-commerce, which can increase consumer confidence and reduce the risk of identity theft.
