Choose the right reporting route
The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, IC3, accepts reports of cyber-enabled crime. Its website also directs crimes against children to NCMEC. Call 911 or local police for immediate danger.
A report does not guarantee a personal response or recovery of money. Use the official website directly and be cautious about anyone claiming they can recover funds on IC3's behalf.
