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.
