One Cyber Crime investigator is assigned to the Financial Crimes Unit and has two main responsibilities. One is to seize, examine and retrieve hidden and encrypted files, programs and information from an offender’s computer and hard drives without altering that information. The investigator’s other responsibility is to investigate crimes that are committed by the use of a computer or against someone’s computer or their network.

Is it illegal to solicit money for a group over the internet?
If it is a legitimate not for profit organization, then that is legal. However, many groups are trying to disguise their requests for money or to gain your personal information by pretending to be a bank, government agency or business. Also many criminals will try to gain money illegally through various sweepstakes and lottery scams. Research any request for money or your personal information very thoroughly.
