Report a Scam

Use this as your single reporting hub. File with your national agency first, then add your case to international and public databases so others can be warned quickly.

Before you file

  • Prepare a clear timeline of what happened
  • Attach screenshots, receipts, wallet IDs, and profile links
  • Include all phone numbers, emails, and usernames used by the scammer
  • Never pay a "recovery agent" upfront
