Ways to Get Your Money Back After Financial Fraud
There are several ways that you may be able to get your money back if you were the victim of financial fraud. It is within your best interest to consult with an attorney to determine the best course of action based on the circumstances of your case.
If you sustained financial losses related to fraud, you may be able to:
- Contact your financial institution - If the losses you sustained were through your bank, you may be able to contact the financial institution and report the fraud. In some cases, you may be reimbursed for your losses. The financial institution will generally investigate the fraud and decide whether to refund the money based on their findings.
- Contact your credit card company - If you paid for the fraudulent scheme with your credit card, you should contact the credit card company and dispute the charges. Credit cards generally offer the most protection for consumers.
- File a claim through FINRA - If you sustained losses related to investment fraud, you may be able to file a claim through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA regulates broker-dealers and protects investors.
- Contact the wire transfer company - Did you suffer losses in a wire transfer? You can contact the wire transfer company to report the fraud and potentially obtain reimbursement or to reverse the transaction.
- File a civil lawsuit - Depending on the situation, you may be able to pursue legal action through a civil lawsuit. It is important to discuss your case with an attorney to determine if you have a valid claim for damages.
- Report the fraud to regulatory agencies - Any fraud should be reported directly to the appropriate regulatory authority. There are a number of agencies that may be involved, including FINRA, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and others.
- Report the fraud to law enforcement agencies - Another legal avenue may be through reporting the fraud to a law enforcement agency. There may be state laws that were violated as a result of the fraudulent activity.
Regardless of the situation, it is important to act quickly if you have been the victim of financial fraud. You may only have a limited amount of time to recover losses.
