The campaign is designed to reach multiple demographics: millennials, Gen X, boomers, Spanish speakers and Asian communities. All advertisements will drive viewers/listeners to a landing page on DFI’s website — www.dfi.wa.gov/10B. This landing page will lead viewers to detailed information about the statistics related to financial fraud — including what scams target which demographics most often, how to identify fraud, how to prevent fraud and how to report it. The web pages also will have details on a variety of emerging fraud forms — including pig butchering, romance scams, crypto scams, investment scams and more. DFI is providing a single entry point short complaint form linked on this landing page, making it easy for consumers to file a complaint with DFI.
