The CFTC’s Office of Customer
Education and Outreach (OCEO) develops campaigns to change customer
behaviors, so that customers can better avoid fraud as defined
under the Commodities Exchange Act. The OCEO intends to survey the
public by identifying customers and determining if the CFTC’s
SmartCheckSM campaign is helping them to identify, avoid, and
report financial fraud. The OCEO will use the information collected
in the survey to refine the methods used to inform the public about
how to best detect and report financial fraud. This will be done by
creating a final summary report that includes key findings from the
survey. Findings from the summary report will be used to
directionally inform the outreach efforts that the CFTC undertakes
concerning helping customers avoid financial fraud.
