Tell me what's on your mind.

If you've been scammed, will you get your money back? Will you get justice? The answer, unfortunately, is no.

While it may be your life savings, the amounts are generally too small and police have such limited resources that they can't help. Your best hope is that your scam was part of a much larger operation that police can get resources to chase.

This week we tell you while justice is so elusive and that the best defense is a good offense. Protect yourself.
