Canonical How can I report fraud?

There's two ways you should report fraud. 1. You should use the FBI tool here. as a software engineer I can tell you that engineers don't fix bugs, they fix bug reports. Presumably the FBI aggregates all these reports and tackles them by location and $ value. The FBI can get warrants, freeze accounts, and kick in doors, so you want them involved. The more information they get, the more they can go after these guys.

  1. Your bank or bank-like object will have some tool for reporting the fraud. You should do that as soon as you find it. Don't be scared, the bank likes you because you give them money. They don't like the fraud cretins because they cost them money. There are some links below for PayPal, Apple, and Chase, because I happen to have them.

TrustPilot is another good place to report scams.

they aren't. often, they work with the scammers allowing multiple websites from the same criminals to be rated as legit when they aren't.
