Frequently Asked Questions

Should I report a scam even if I didn't lose money?
Yes. Reporting helps law enforcement identify patterns, shut down scam operations, and protect others. Even unsuccessful scam attempts should be reported to the FTC, your national fraud center, and the platform where the scam occurred.
Will reporting get my money back?
Reporting creates a paper trail that may help with recovery, but it doesn't guarantee getting money back. Your best chance of recovery is contacting your bank immediately (within 24-48 hours for wire transfers) and filing a formal fraud dispute. Credit card charges have the strongest chargeback protections.
Can I report a scam anonymously?
Most reporting agencies accept anonymous tips. The FBI IC3, FTC, and most national fraud centers allow you to report without providing your full identity, though providing contact information may help with follow-up and potential recovery.
