Victim of Fraud?
A recent Fraud Watch Alert by AARP reports that too many people who have been scammed out of their hard-earned money, suffer their losses alone and in silence. Fraud is a widely underreported crime and therefore the perpetrators go unpunished and continue to scam others.
“If you’ve been scammed, it can be deeply embarrassing, and make you question your judgment,” said AARP Illinois State Director Bob Gallo. “But even if you feel that the losses are not large enough to report, or that nothing will result from filing a report, you should report it as this will help protect others from becoming victims.”
