One is prohibited from standing by and not assisting when a fellow Jew is in danger.
One has to assist even if it requires spending one's own money.
Preventing a fellow Jew from financial loss is included in this Mitzva.
For example, if one discovers a plot to steal from a fellow Jew, one is obliged to try and foil the plan, by offering them money, calling the police or whatever else will be effective.
Applies to everybody, everywhere,always.
Verse: "Do not stand by the blood of your brother" (Vayikra 19:17)
