Reporting a scam helps protect others and can help you recover. Here is where to report, in the U.S.
Report fraud
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC): report at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
- Online crime / internet fraud: the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.
- Identity theft: IdentityTheft.gov for a recovery plan.
- Your state Attorney General and local police for local scams.
If money was sent
Contact your bank, card issuer, or the payment app immediately and ask about reversing the transfer. The sooner you act, the better your chances.
