Moishe Alexander has added consumer advocacy help site links to our charity site. These are being added because of the obvious reason that if you have been scammed out of money then you will have less to commit to charitable organization. Better to have given a portion of your hard earned income to a charity than to have it taken from you by scam artists or fraud perpetrators. The sites are being placed here to help provide information and solace to our readers. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the pernicious effects of fraud.

Every day, people throughout the UK are falling victim to scams of one kind or another. It could be an unexpected prize draw or lottery win, or a chance to invest in an exciting new money-making or investment programme. But remember - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Scams are dishonest attempts to part you with your money. Scams may reach you in the form of letters, emails, telephone calls and text messages and take many forms including fake lotteries, miracle health goods, bogus holidays, phoney job offers, pyramid schemes, internet fraud and financial scams.
