Crime, Fraud & Victim Resource Center / Fraud Fighter
The Crime, Fraud & Victim Resource Center is looking for volunteers who are willing and able to dedicate their time and energy helping fight consumer fraud or discrimination throughout Arizona. They can volunteer in any of the following ways:
1. Volunteer a few hours a month to staff a local Satellite Office or center. This requires independent work and initiative.
These offices provide convenient locations for Arizona residents to obtain information on how to avoid becoming a victim of consumer fraud, identity theft and predatory lending. They also provide information on civil rights and victims' rights and provide a local venue where residents can file consumer or civil rights complaints.
2. Volunteer as a "Fraud Fighter" in your community. The Fraud Fighters make educational presentations and staff information booths at events and fairs in their local community. They will be trained by an outreach coordinator and will work with them to set an individual schedule for them.
3. Volunteer to assist victims directly by helping to staff our Identity Theft Help Line or the Senior Help Line. These volunteers work directly with people in need of victims of identity theft. They are also trained by our outreach coordinators in how to answer each call and what resources are available to help them fix their situation.
