Major Fraud

In worst case scenarios, fraud artists can bilk millions of dollars from unsuspecting victims, companies, and government agencies. Such criminal operations are often quite sophisticated and require special attention from law enforcement.

The District Attorney’s Major Fraud Unit works with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, local police departments, and state agencies to investigate and prosecute individuals engaged in complicated fraud schemes throughout the county. The Major Fraud Unit's specially trained deputy district attorneys handle fraud cases that require expert prosecution because of their complex nature.

The Major Fraud Unit prosecutes complicated fraud schemes, but is not the primary investigator for these crimes. To report fraud, contact your local law enforcement agency.
