Report to help

fight fraud!

Protect your community by reporting fraud, scams, and bad business practices.

How it works

Scammers are impersonating the FTC. Know that the FTC will never threaten you, say you must transfer your money to “protect it,” or tell you to withdraw cash or buy gold and give it to someone.

The power of ReportFraud.ftc.gov
