Where to start when you were scammed, targeted, impersonated or pressured into sending money or information.
Consumers can report fraud and scams to official reporting systems. Reporting helps create records, support enforcement data and guide next steps.
What to do when someone claims to be from Social Security, IRS, Medicare, police, courts, immigration or another government office.
Government imposter scams use authority and fear to pressure consumers into paying money, giving information or taking urgent action.
What to do when someone builds a relationship online and then asks for money, crypto, gift cards or emergency help.
Romance scams use trust, emotional pressure and isolation to convince victims to send money or personal information.
What to do when a person, platform or group promises profits, shows fake balances or pushes crypto deposits.
Crypto and investment scams can involve fake trading dashboards, fake profits, wallet transfers, romance-investment scams and recovery scams.
What to do when someone sends a check and asks you to send money back, buy equipment, pay a shipper or forward funds.
Fake check scams exploit the delay between a bank making funds available and the check later being returned as fake or unpaid.
When a situation needs more than reading, use Defentra to scan, check, document and preserve evidence. For qualifying issues, Elite support can help organize the next steps.
