AVASC is a community-powered nonprofit organization founded by victims, for victims. We provide support, education, and advocacy to those targeted by cyber-scams and digital fraud.
AVASC was founded by people who experienced the trauma of cyber-scams firsthand. We know the shame, the loss, and the frustration of feeling powerless. Our mission is to change that — through community, education, and action.
From the moment you reach out, our team of trained volunteers and experts is here to help you navigate the path forward.
We've made it as simple as possible to get the support and resources you need, when you need them most.
Your report helps protect others. By documenting scams, we build intelligence that helps law enforcement, warns communities, and strengthens our advocacy efforts. Every report matters.
All submissions are reviewed by our team within 48 hours. Your personal information is kept strictly confidential and will never be shared without your consent.
Real stories from real people who found community, support, and a path forward through AVASC.
After losing over $40,000 to a romance scam, I was ashamed to tell anyone. AVASC was the first place I felt truly heard — no judgment, just support and practical guidance on what to do next.
The AVASC team walked me through filing reports with the FTC and IC3 — processes I had no idea how to navigate. Their support gave me my sense of agency back during one of the hardest periods of my life.
I thought I was too smart to be scammed. When it happened to me, I spiraled. Connecting with other survivors through AVASC helped me understand I was targeted by professionals — and that recovery is possible.
AVASC was established to give a voice and a support system to the millions of Americans harmed by cyber-scams each year. We are a community — not a corporation. Every dollar donated, every hour volunteered, goes directly toward supporting victims and preventing future harm.
Our founder's personal experience with a devastating online scam became the catalyst for building an organization that treats victims with dignity, provides real actionable support, and fights for systemic change in how cybercrime is prosecuted and prevented.
