Shawn Mosch is a scam victim turned Victim’s Advocate who, along with her husband Jeff, works to educate people about internet scams. After their personal experience with a counterfeit cashier’s check scam in 2002, Shawn spent countless hours searching for resources and support for victims of these scams. The lack of information and resources available at the time was the motivating factor in launching their website, ScamVictimsUnited.com, in 2003.
Over the years Scam Victims United has worked with several media outlets on stories about scams in order to educate the public. Some of these would include
CBS Evening News
NBC Nightly News
MSNBC.com
Wired Magazine
The Washington Post
Reuters
Fraud Squad TV http://www.fraudsquadtv.com/
The Mike and Juliet Show
Shawn has also been active in working with government agencies to increase awareness about scams through speaking engagements and collaborating on projects with groups like
The Iowa’s Attorney General’s Office
National Consumers League and the site fakechecks.org
The National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC), including being a workshop presenter at the annual conference in 2007
The National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C)
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (I3C)
Shawn is able to offer a unique perspective on internet scams because of her experience, and can also relate personally to scam victims. This allows her to offer education, resources and support while giving victims a sense of hope and encouragement that they will make it through their situation, because she is living proof that you can survive being a scam victim.
