Unfortunately, Fraud Is On The Rise
Recent data from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the FBI highlight the alarming rise in fraud-related losses across various sectors.
In the US, losses from romance scams surpassed $547 million, a staggering six-fold increase. Similarly, business email compromise (BEC) incidents surged by 65%, with both large and small businesses falling prey to compromised email accounts. According to the FBI's Elder Fraud Report, elderly victims, in particular, have suffered devastating losses, totaling $1.7 billion.
Australians lost a staggering $3 billion to scammers last year, surpassing any previous year. Investment scams accounted for the highest losses at $1.5 billion, followed by remote access scams ($229 million) and payment redirection scams ($224 million).
Small and micro businesses experienced a substantial 95% increase in losses, reaching $13.7 million, primarily due to payment redirection scams. Overall, there was a 73% rise in scam losses across the Australian business community, totaling $23.2 million.
In Singapore, police statistics show the rise in crime levels were driven by a large spike in scam cases. Of the 46,196 cases reported, more than half (23,931 cases) involved scams – a 53% increase from the 15,651 cases reported the previous year.
At ScamShield, our fore-front focus is the fact that each of these statistics represents a real individual who has been victimized.
It is Imperative to Take Immediate Action Against Fraud with ScamShield
These facts highlight the critical need to hire ScamShield to take proactive measures immediately against fraud.
After decades of serving people in this industry, ScamShield has found the impact of fraud extends beyond financial losses.
Common Scams
Exploiting Trust: Scammers often capitalize on feelings of loneliness and the need for belonging to establish trust.
Establishing Alignment: A sense of similarity between themselves and the victim helps scammers foster trust and reciprocity, making victims more susceptible to their fraudulent schemes.
Assuming Authoritative Roles: Such as posing as government officials, scammers can intimidate individuals and enhance the credibility of their deceitful claims.
Making Grand Claims: Scammers frequently employ tactics like offering large sums of money or promising miraculous cures to trigger heuristic thinking, which diminishes rational processing and skepticism.
Urgency Tactics: Like scarcity or time pressure, further inhibit rational evaluation.
Foot-in-the-Door Technique: Involves enticing victims to agree to small commitments initially, making it harder for them to decline larger requests later. Scammers exploit this tendency to gain momentum in their favor.
Sunk Costs: Become relevant when victims have already invested time or money into a scam. Scammers exploit this reluctance to lose what has been invested by demanding additional payments to complete transactions.
If you are a victim of fraud, it is imperative to take proactive steps to protect yourself and our global communities.
After decades in this business, ScamShield has found our clients share common experiences.
Studies show there is a psychology behind fraud attacks. Victims often feel pain that mimics that of people experiencing the seven stages of loss. One article reports, "Victims often carry scars that transcend the loss of funds." Scamshield’s services allow clients to proactively progress on their path to resolution.

Success Stories and Testimonials
I want to reach out to you once again, to express my gratitude for the recent research you did for me.
It was puzzling that law enforcement was unable to uncover pertinent information on my case; yet, it took you and your associates just three days to uncover – thus saving me additional financial loss, as well as, emotional anguish and trauma.
You were extremely professional and detailed in your analysis. Throughout the entire process, you were not judgmental, expressing great empathy constantly; of which, I appreciated.
It is with deep gratitude that I say I would highly recommend you!

As a professional person I have a Linkedin profile and my contacts are mainly people from my area of business. I was sent a request to connect with a person with a profile that corresponded with mine.
Therefore, as most people would, I assumed this person was an approved member with whom it would be “safe” to communicate.
After professional warm exchanges, including text messages; the member asked me if I wanted to be introduced to his uncle, a well-established investor and also a LinkedIn member with a profile and contact information. I checked the credentials and all seemed legitimate.
As a result, I connected with the investor and was convinced to invest in a crypto related investment. I sent a low 6 figure amount to him.
Not too long after my investment was made, I was shocked to find that I no longer was receiving replies from the uncle nor nephew (my original contact). Although I was worried, I believed this was a technical glitch or temporary silence.
After some more time passed, I called Scam Shield to have this matter investigated. Sadly, I learned I had become a victim of a sophisticated scam and none of my so called texts, calls, emails and such were with real people.
I am grateful for the way your team handled my case with dignity and confidentiality. Unfortunately, there is almost no road I can take to retrieve these funds; however, I am grateful to have had your support in the investigation change to research process.

Today, I'm sharing my story as a cautionary tale to all single moms out there, especially those who, like me, have faced the unimaginable loss of a spouse. After losing my husband and left to navigate the world as a single mom of two, I thought I was prepared for anything. Little did I know, I was the perfect target for scammers.
In the midst of rebuilding my life, I was blindsided by a scam that not only wiped out my hard-earned 401k but also left me reeling from the financial devastation. Feeling lost and desperate, I knew I needed to take action, not just for myself but for my children's future.
That's when I reached out for help, and thankfully, I found a lifeline in the form of a support system that not only listened, but took action. With their guidance and expertise, we uncovered the dangerous individuals behind the scam, individuals preying on vulnerable individuals like me.
To anyone out there facing similar struggles, please know that you're not alone. There are resources and people willing to help you navigate through the darkest of times. And to those dangerous individuals out there seeking to exploit others, beware - we're watching, and justice will prevail.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me get closer to finding closure and rebuilding a brighter future for my family.
