Together, we can elevate awareness and play a crucial role in safeguarding others from falling prey to similar deceitful schemes.

Please find below a compilation of resources to aid you in deciding the most appropriate authority to report your experience and take necessary actions:

You can find information about your state Attorney General on the Department of Justice's website: www.justice.gov or by calling the National Center for Disaster Fraud at (866) 720-5721. Additionally, the Attorney General's office can guide you on legal actions you can take against scammers, provide assistance in recovering any losses you may have incurred, and offer valuable advice to prevent future scams. 

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) provides a straightforward way for Americans to report fraud through its dedicated portal: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov. By visiting this website, you can initiate the reporting process easily. In addition to facilitating scam reports, the FTC offers a wealth of resources, including educational materials and guides designed to empower consumers and safeguard them against fraudulent activities. Your report not only aids in halting scammers but also equips others with the awareness needed to steer clear of becoming victims themselves. Take action today to protect yourself and others from falling prey to scams. 

The FBI provides valuable information on exercising caution online through their website: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/safety-resources/scams-and-safety. Additionally, they have established The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at https://ic3.gov/, a dedicated platform for reporting scams or crimes you've encountered or have information about. You can also submit information anonymously through this portal. Furthermore, the FBI collaborates with international law enforcement agencies to investigate and dismantle global scam operations. Staying informed about the latest online threats is crucial if you suspect you may be a target of a scam. Educating others about these risks is equally important to prevent further victimization. 

The CIA offers a platform for contacting them or reporting information online at https://www.cia.gov/report-information/. While they prioritize "Imminent Threats," if your encounter with a scam leads you to knowledge of a serious threat within or outside the USA, this resource is available. However, for scams that don't pose imminent threats, it's advisable to utilize your local non-police line or contact your state Attorney General. Nonetheless, it's essential to recognize that the CIA may possess valuable intelligence on criminal networks engaged in scam activities with national security implications. By reporting any suspicious activities, you play a crucial role in upholding the safety and security of your community and country.
