The aim of FraudWatchers.Org is firstly to provide support, guidance and assistance to victims of fraud. We are aware of the circumstances under which people fall prey to these crimes - quite often it is out of the simple, human desire to have a second income, or to help a "charity" in Africa or maybe it is just the result of buying something on the Internet for your children. We understand - it is not always blind, mindless greed that causes fraud victims. We care - we have seen hard cases before and we always try our best to look after them. We know - we co-operate with police forces all around the world and can guide you to the right people to report your case. It is highly unlikely that any losses you have suffered woud be recovered, and we cannot and will never offer to undertake such a service.

Secondly, we aim to educate people about fraud on the Internet, in all its manifestations. If people are educated about fraud, then the fraudsters and scammers would not have the victims to finance their criminal activities. Be in no doubt - there are criminals out there right now planning their next frauds on you. At the last estimate in 2003, there are estimated to be around 300,000 professional scammers operating out of Africa alone, generating over 5 billion scam emails. This is a problem we can fight only with education. You can help us, by educating yourself so that you can educate your family, your friends, your colleagues. Every bit helps us all beat this insidious modern crime. We have news items, articles, links, everything you need to help yourself and those you care for.

On a last note, scammers may attempt to use our name or email address to fool you into thinking that what they are proposing is true. If it is not a warning about a fraud or crime being committed against you, then please enquire about the authenticity of such emails by sending us a Contact Us form (for the form page, click here). Alternatively, by clicking here, you may select 'New Thread' and post your request in the forum. Scammers are resourceful criminals and may try to use the names of organisations like ours to persuade you about the legitimacy of their fraudulent proposals. Never believe such emails and always check with us first.

Thank you and welcome to our site.
