Told victim to get help (7)
I believe the answer is:
succour
'help' is the definition.
(I know that succour is a type of help)
'told victim' is the wordplay.
'told' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'victim' becomes 'sucker' (sucker is a kind of victim).
'sucker' sounds like 'SUCCOUR'.
'to get' is the link.
(Other definitions for succour that I've seen before include "Help given in time of need" , "Comfort" , "Render assistance to" , "Assistance, support" , "Encourage" .)
