Support Beyond Fraud Detection

Backgrounder believes in a holistic approach to supporting our customers, which means taking care of the emotional and psychological needs of fraud and scam victims and their families. We know the trauma people experience does not just end with financial hardship. This is why we have intentionally partnered with Give an Hour to expand access to their peer groups.
