Given the age of many victims and the impact the offense often has on their lives, victim support programs are also important to minimize long-term impact and prevent further victimization. Strategies should be flexible . Telemarketing frauds evolve as the technology changes and offenders find new ways to take advantage of it. The ability of offenders to move and change their operations quickly requires that both enforcement and prevention programs be flexible enough to react as quickly as the offenders can. Strategies should include an ongoing, long-term commitment by agencies .
Telemarketing fraud requires expertise on the part of enforcement and regulatory agencies.
Those involved must have a knowledge of the offense, of offenders and their methods, and of the agencies and powers available to respond. Expertise takes time to develop, which requires the commitment of personnel and funding to specialized units in law-enforcement and regulatory agencies. This expertise permits faster and more effective reactions, which also reduces costs. In practice, these elements can be combined in different ways to approach the problem. The most effective approach in each case will depend on the nature and scope of the fraud scheme involved and the resources deployed against it.
