Protect Your Financial Future

Financial fraud steals more than money — it robs hundreds of thousands of people of their hopes, dreams, and futures every year. With more than $10 billion in reported losses in 2023 alone, it's time to take a stand against scams.

At the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, we believe that education and awareness are the most powerful tools in preventing financial fraud. By learning to identify common scams and knowing what steps to take, you can prevent scammers from stealing money from you, your family, and your community.
