Mr. Schiff: Be careful. Telemarketing Fraud is out there and you may be called by someone asking for your money for phony charities, phony investments...

Mr. Dagan: "Travel packages; it's over the Internet; it's by telephone; it's by mail; it's becoming more and more worldwide."

Mr. Schiff: That's Special Agent Gary Dagan, Chief of the FBI's Economic Crimes Unit...

Mr. Dagan: "Now we have joint operations with Canada; many of the criminals have moved up to Canada and still are defrauding United States citizens."

Mr. Schiff: Dagan says the FBI works with law enforcement overseas...

Mr. Dagan: "We also have investigations now in Madrid, Spain, in the Netherlands; it's becoming more known that this is a major problem, not just in America, but throughout the world."

Mr. Schiff: Telemarketing Fraud costs consumers and businesses hundreds of millions of dollars a year. I'm Neal Schiff and that's what's happening at the "FBI, This Week."
