In order to investigate your complaint properly, we will need the names, addresses and phone numbers of all persons involved in the suspected fraud (i.e. suspect(s), reporting party/victim). We also need a summary of facts, including but not limited to the following:

  • A chronology of the events that took place

  • What you were told and by whom

  • What you were told that you later learned was false

If you have reported this suspected fraud to any other agencies for investigation, please include the name, address and telephone number of the agency and person contacted.

It is imperative that you be as specific as possible with all the information requested. Once we have received and reviewed your complaint of suspected fraud, you will be contacted by one of the agencies mentioned above to discuss the issues at hand. At that time, you may be required to supply copies of all documents you have in support of your complaint.
