Anti-Scam FAQ: Why don’t more scam victims report online scams?

Answer:

There are a few reasons why more scam victims don’t report online scams. One reason is that many people are embarrassed to admit that they have been scammed. They may be afraid that others will judge them or think that they are foolish. Another reason is that many people are not aware of where to report online scams, or they may not know that reporting the scam can help protect others from being scammed as well. Additionally, some people may not report online scams because they are afraid of retribution from the scammer or they may not think that anything can be done to help them.
