Your state

Fraud Documentation Packet

Build a careful, truthful record of your own case.

Family-reported. This page does not accuse anyone. It helps you document what you personally experienced, in your own words, and take it to the right office. You supply every name from your own first-hand facts.

Before filing

Do not copy another family's allegations. Do not exaggerate. Knowingly false statements to federal investigators are a separate federal crime (18 U.S.C. §1001). File only what you personally know and can support.

The four things fraud needs

These are the legal building blocks of wire fraud. They are here to teach you what counts — not to label anyone.

1. A scheme built on false statements

A plan to get money or property using statements that were not true.

2. Intent to defraud

The person meant to deceive — it was not an honest mistake.

3. A wire was used

An email, a Zoom call, an e-filing, a billing system, or an electronic transfer carried part of it.

4. The wire moved the scheme forward

That email, call, filing, or transfer actually helped the plan along.

18 U.S.C. §1001 — Lying to federal investigators

Knowingly false statements to federal investigators are a separate federal crime (18 U.S.C. §1001). Do not copy another family's allegations and do not exaggerate. File only what you can personally support.

Documentation checklist

Write facts, not conclusions. "On 3/4 the invoice billed a session that did not happen" is a fact. "They committed fraud" is a conclusion — let the facts show it.

□ Date — when each thing happened
□ Who — names and roles of the people involved
□ What happened — the facts, in the order they occurred
□ What document proves it — the email, filing, bill, or transfer record
□ Where it is stored — so you can produce it on request

Copy-ready template

Addressed to: FBI — Submit a Tip. Write only what you personally know: dates, exact words or actions, the document that proves each fact, and where that document is stored. File facts, not conclusions. Replace every bracketed blank with your own truthful facts.
