As the founder of “Ian Leaf, The Fraud Watcher,” Ian Leaf has enjoyed a long career educating and assisting consumers and others regarding the many dangers associated with fraudulent behavior. The consumer advocate devotes a great deal of his time to exposing fraudsters long before they are able to take advantage of unsuspecting consumers, but his primary goal is to generate a greater deal of awareness of the widespread nature of this problem, as far too many people are simply unaware of the many scams used by increasingly sophisticated fraudsters.

In keeping with his goal of enhancing public awareness, Leaf is also the author of several books that detail some of the more common strategies utilized by fraudsters along with the many preventive measures consumers can employ to further protect against becoming a victim of a scam. While he has published a number of books on a variety of subjects, Leaf’s most recently published work is “Fraud, Fraudsters and Scams - What to Watch for on Instagram,” a book that covers the surprising tactics used by scammers while educating consumers on detecting those tactics immediately.

Leaf’s commitment to consumer advocacy has led to frequent requests for consulting work along with a great deal of demand for his presence as a speaker at seminars and other informational gatherings hosted by watchdog groups and other organizations interested in fraud prevention. While his reputation has led to widespread demand, Leaf has repeatedly stated his interest remains with directly assisting consumers in the fight against fraud, which explains his continued focus on educating consumers and exposing fraudsters through "Ian Leaf, The Fraud Watcher." While he has enjoyed a successful career in which he has been frequently praised for his work, Leaf remains a tireless researcher and believes there is always more that can be done to help others.

As an author, consumer advocate and vigilant fraud watcher, Ian Leaf’s professional career has clearly been influenced by his deep desire to help others in any way possible. When he is not fighting for the rights of consumers or researching and exposing newly developed forms of fraudulent behavior, Leaf is likely working on updating his blog devoted to fraud prevention and consumer advocacy or working on his next book project. With a deep understanding that each time he successfully exposes fraudsters and scammers will undoubtedly lead to more sophisticated attempts to defraud, Leaf has been an incredibly diligent professional and has dedicated his career to educating the public so the deceptive practices of fraudsters are far less likely to succeed.
