Dallas, TX, May 24, 2014 --(PR.com)-- New Mexico Ranked 28th In The Country For Fraud
Dallas-based SWACHA will team up with the Albuquerque office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on May 29, 2014 to host the 10th Annual Financial Institution Crime Day to help local banks, credit unions and other financial institutions reduce their exposure to fraud.
