FRAUD

Assistance With lOSSES DUE TO fRAUD

In 2021, more than 42 million Americans were affected by identity fraud, suffering a combined $52 billion in damages. What's more, victims of identity theft were required to spend an average of more than nine hours attempting to recover funds, reset passwords, and purchase identity protection services. 

But identity fraud, while common, isn't the only type of fraud that can have an intensely detrimental effect on its victims. Other types of fraud allegations may include: 

• Mail fraud
• Healthcare fraud
• Unauthorized use of a Social Security Number
• Ponzi and pyramid schemes
• Pump-and-dump investment schemes
• Phishing or spear-phishing scams
• Bank account takeover fraud 
• Advance fee schemes
