Organized fraud is a significant and growing transnational threat that requires a strong international response. It has evolved significantly over the years, adapting to technological advancements and changes in society, enabled by information and communications technologies. The resurgence of fraud as the most prevalent crime type in many regions is closely linked to transnational organized crime, which is often followed by technological sophistication and the convergence with other crimes such as money laundering and trafficking in persons.
