We believe that relatively low cost access to high service in relation to fraud prevention, detection, investigation and resolution should be available for each and everyone of us.
The sad hard truth is that as a private individual or as a small business owner finding justice as a victim is not always easy. Police do not consider fraud a priority,other agencies are often, underfunded, understaffed and overstretched whilst professional assistance may be unattractive from a cost point of view.
We believe that professional help should be available against prices that fit with current budgets. At the same time we see however how there appears to be gaping void wherever we go in terms of access to professional services and justice: if you are "poor" you are entitled to legal aid, of you if enough funds available you can follow through. But where does that leave SME and normal private citizens? It is with this in mind that the FRAUD DISCOVERY & EXPOSURE CENTRE was established: to make professional help available for private individuals and SME.
The FRAUD DISCOVERY & EXPOSURE CENTRE may be seen as a collaborative network of carefully selected independent professional and small firms that use modern imformation and communication technologies to serve clients, exhange valuablle knowledge and expertise and collaborate in virtual teams. This set up enables us to provide highly professional without the overheads so typical of large professional organizations. Our world wide network covers millions of people and covers virtually every industry and discipline.
Our business model is build on a combination of commercial, for-profit product and service delivery combined with donations to support ongoing intelligence gathering, research and free publications as well as funding professional help for those that have really hit rock bottom. At the same time our model allows for victims of scams to "pool" the costs of professional help.
Arcis is Latin for citadel: a fortress built on the high grounds of
a city, offering protection and shelter to citizens in times of danger.
