As Comptroller of the State of Florida, I see the harmful results that unravel the lives of our fellow citizens. Fraud does not discriminate. It affects all of us without regard to age, race, gender, or economic standing. I need your assistance in identifying these criminals and halting their activities. I want your help in stopping financial fraud in Florida.
Consumer education is the most potent weapon in the battle against fraud.
I pledge to you that the Department of Banking and Finance will work closely with all parties to get the word out about combating financial fraud. DBF regulates people and businesses that handle money mortgage brokers, investment advisors, check cashers, money transmitters, title loan companies, car financing, state banks and credit unions, and much more. We have regional offices near you with professionals trained to identify fraudulent activities. The key is to check out any financial deal before committing your money. We need your help.
