49 About Communications Fraud Communications fraud is the use of telecommunications products or services with no intention of payment. Fraud negatively impacts everyone, including residential and commercial customers. The losses increase the communications carriers operating costs. Although communications operators have increased measures to minimize fraud and reduce their losses, criminals continue to abuse communications networks and services. Therefore, communications operators tend to keep their actual loss figures and their plans for corrective measures confidential. Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, CFCA used a confidential opinion survey of global communications operators to support the global fraud loss study.
50 About CFCA CFCA is a not-for-profit global educational association that is working to combat communications fraud. The mission of the CFCA is to be the premier international association for revenue assurance, loss prevention and fraud control through education and information. By promoting a close association among telecommunications fraud security personnel, CFCA serves as a forum and clearinghouse of information pertaining to the fraudulent use of communications services.
