The Role of the
Fraud Aid
Fraud
Victim Advocate
A Fraud Aid Fraud Victim Advocate is a person who is
familiar with fraud and its effects on fraud victims and their personal
community.
A Fraud Aid Fraud Victim Advocate guides the fraud victim
and/or the fraud victim's family for as long as it takes to work through
the consequences of the crime perpetrated on them.
Consequences of a fraud range from minor to severe and may
involve dealing with
-
financial institutions;
-
law enforcement reports;
-
family issues;
-
financial recovery;
-
immediate survival resources;
-
being arrested;
-
working with
civil attorneys and criminal defense attorneys;
-
loss of self worth, fear, suicide or
life-threatening health reactions, loneliness and separation, a
variety of of unexpected thoughts, distraction, and other
stress-related emotional impacts;
-
navigating unfamiliar social systems;
-
and cultural issues.
Each person's situation
is, to a certain extent, unique and our victim advocates strive to address
those unique issues in a manner which is comfortable for the fraud
victim.
The goal of our fraud victim advocates is for a fraud victim
to regaining control of his life, become more aware and stronger,
ready to rejoin the community in a sustained positive state of mind.
