There is nothing more emotionally painful than betrayal by someone you care about and trust.  This has been the kernel of fictional literature from time immemorial.   Whether it is betrayal through infidelity, jealousy, greed or ambition doesn't matter.  When it happens, the victim will never see life the same again because now they know that no one - not even their best friend, business partner, husband, fiancé -  is really fool-proof trustworthy.  And that is a very, very lonely revelation that can have life-long repercussions.

           When you add to the equation money that belonged to the victim and the betrayer is romantically involved with the victim, you have what has come to be known as the Sweetheart Scam.  It is, as the phraseology goes, the mother of all betrayals.  The victim has lost her friend, her belief in humanity and her money.  What else, she asks, is left? 

           What is left is one more mammoth betrayal that in some cases is more devastating that the original fraud.  It is the betrayal by the criminal justice system that frequently views the sweetheart scam as a civil issue because the victim had a close personal relationship with the thief.  It is the refusal of the police to review the case or, if they review it, to give it only minimal scrutiny.  The victim is then left with one alternative for justice - go civil and pray that the thief hasn't spent all the money by the time the very, very slow wheels of justice roll over him.

         This is where Women's Fraud Recovery Center can help because we do not believe there is anything civil about fraud. We are here to help victims (both women and men) of sweetheart scams obtain justice, both financially and, if at all possible, by convincing the prosecutor to charge the thief with fraud.  If you have been the victim of a sweetheart scam, let us see if we can help you.  Fill out the Fraud Report and give us the details.  We will tell you what kind of skip tracing information we can provide that will help you if the thief has disappeared. We may be able to uncover information about the person's past that will convince the prosecutor that your scam is only one of many scams the thief has committed.  We will help you find his assets. We will break down charges based on the searches we recommend so you will know what the fees will be.  We do not charge for skip tracing on an hourly basis.  We charge based on the searches performed.  Our Background Search is only $59.00.  It may be all you need to produce the information you need to prove your case to the prosecutor or to locate his assets.
