Frequently Asked Questions
Does this course guarantee my case will be investigated?
No. While this course gives you the tools to create a strong, well-documented fraud report, it can’t guarantee that law enforcement will investigate your case. That decision depends on the agency’s priorities, available resources, and the details of your case like known suspects or actionable evidence. That said, a clear, detailed report can significantly increase your chances of being taken seriously.
Why pay for this course when filing a police report is free?
You’re absolutely right, filing a report with law enforcement is always free. This course doesn’t replace that. Instead, it teaches you how to prepare a report that investigators can actually act on. I've spent over 15 years dealing with police reports. The challenge is often two-fold: victims don't know the exact details that matter most to a detective, and the responding officer may not have the specialized fraud training to document all the necessary information. This course gives you insider insight from someone who's been on the receiving end of those reports, ensuring your voice gets heard and your case is prepared to save law enforcement time, which significantly increases your chances of getting noticed.
My incident happened online, can it be investigated?
It depends on the details. If you don’t have much identifying information about the suspect or if the scammer is overseas, your local agency may not be able to pursue the case directly. But that doesn’t mean reporting is pointless. In these situations, filing a report with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is essential. This helps federal agencies identify larger fraud patterns and repeat offenders across jurisdictions, which is crucial for stopping future scams.
Can I access the course content after completion?
Yes! Filing a fraud report can be a stressful, complex process, and you shouldn't have to relearn the steps every time you need to act. That's why, once you enroll, you will receive lifetime access to all course lessons and materials.
The course is designed to be a permanent reference toolkit, allowing you to revisit the step-by-step guidance whenever you encounter a new situation or need to review how to properly document evidence. Most importantly, the downloadable, custom Fraud Report Form is yours to keep and reuse as often as needed.
