Consumer fraud

Report attempted or successful scams through this online platform. Submissions are first vetted, and legitimate reports are then posted for the public to search. Reports may be shared with third parties such as regulatory agencies, law enforcement, or other appropriate organizations for investigation.

This site allows you to easily report scams, fraud, and bad business practices to the Federal Trade Commission. Once you submit your report, you will be given a tracking number and tips on what to do next. Your report will be added to the Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Sentinel database, which is available to thousands of law enforcement agencies throughout the country.

The Bureau works to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and take action against companies that break the law. This resource page provides guidance to help you prevent, recognize, and report scams and fraud.
