White-Collar crimes cost Americans billions of dollars annually and frequently go unreported. These crimes are expensive, both to the institution and, in the end, to you the consumer, who pays for the fraud in higher fees, less services, etc. The FBI does not take fraud lightly. The Salt Lake City Division maintains close working relationships with Banks, Insurance Companies, Brokerage Firms and other financial institutions to ensure that they are free from fraud, both from within and outside of the company.

Fraud and other white-collar schemes are not limited to the world of finance, however. Almost every kind of business is subject to this invisible crime. Recently, the Salt Lake City Division spearheaded the investigation of a network of hospitals and healthcare providers. As a result of this operation, many key players, including a few high-level officials of the company, are under federal indictment for Medicare fraud.
