New Connecticut website encourages residents to report fraud

HARTFORD, Conn. – The state has launched a website, FightFraud.ct.gov, to bolster its efforts to tackle fraud, waste, and abuse that cost the state money.

The site was spurred by the state’s Interagency Fraud Task Force, according to state Attorney General George Jepsen. That task force was formed in 2013 by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to coordinate efforts by 13 state agencies and is charged with helping the state identify, investigate, and prosecute suspicious activity and recover funds.

Fraud, waste and abuse cost state programs tens of millions of dollars each year, according to Jepsen.
