The Federal Trade Commission
held a public workshop on how to build public/private partnerships
to combat cross-border fraud against consumers. The workshop explored how the private and public sectors can work together to

cross-border fraud operators; any legal constraints on cooperation; and
recommendations for partnerships and legislative and other measures to
assist the FTC in combating cross-border fraud.
