National Adult Protective Services Association’s (NAPSA’s) Monthly National Scam Advice Forum

‍Online fraud continues to impact millions of adults each year — yet what happens after a crime occurs is often overlooked. While prevention education remains essential, many individuals are left to navigate the financial, emotional, and social consequences of cybercrime on their own.

Join for an important discussion focused on strengthening recovery support and addressing the critical gap that exists after online fraud takes place.

This session will explore how structured recovery services — including specialized peer support groups for victims of romance scams and crypto investment fraud — can reduce repeat victimization, improve reporting outcomes, and empower survivors to become strong advocates for prevention.

Speaker: Ally Armeson, Executive Director of FightCybercrime.org, leads national initiatives designed to help individuals and communities recognize, report, and recover from cybercrime. Over the past four years, Ally and her team have worked directly with high-loss victims, supporting them as they rebuild their emotional, financial, and digital lives following devastating fraud experiences. FightCybercrime.org leverages survivors’ lived experiences to develop practical recovery tools, enhance prevention education, and provide insights that help financial institutions, technology platforms, and policymakers better protect vulnerable adults.

This session will provide valuable insight into the role recovery support plays in strengthening overall fraud prevention efforts.
