Anti-Scam FAQ: What Is The Way To Report Scammers

Answer:

It is essential that law enforcement knows about scams & scammers, even though there is nothing (in most cases) that they can do immediately – eventually the data does accumulate and can result in an arrest.

Always report scams involving money lost or where you received money to:

  1. Local Police – they are your First Responder, and can help you recovery your money – if needed ask them to take an “informational” police report – say you need it for your insurance – get a police report number – make sure you identify any you sent money to in your own country
  2. U.S. State Police Cybercrimes Unit (if you live in the U.S. or the Cybercrimes Unit in your own country – most countries have them now) – they will take the matter more seriously and provide you with more help than local police
  3. Your National Police or FBI www.IC3.gov
  4. Also the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/?orgcode=SCARS
  5. The SCARS|CDN™ Cybercriminal Data Network – Worldwide Reporting Network on www.Anyscam.com
  6. Also, report it to the social media platform – sometimes it will take more than one report, but this helps disrupt their connection to their current victims

This helps your government understand the problem, and allows law enforcement to add scammers on watch lists worldwide. Your reports are essential even if the police cannot take action!
