West Virginia DOJ launches fraud task force uniting local, state and federal investigators
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — A new task force aims to help law enforcement agencies share information and coordinate investigations into fraud affecting West Virginians. Fraud cases can cross city and state lines, making them difficult to investigate, officials said. In Charleston, police frequently see scams targeting older residents, along with romance scams and sextortion, said Sgt. Travis Bailes.
