Country scam reporting guides
Official scam, fraud, and cybercrime reporting resources organised by country. Each guide links to national authorities and explains how to report safely. To check a specific message first, use the message checker.
If you've just been scammed
- If you sent money, contact your bank or payment provider first - speed matters.
- If an account was compromised, reset the password and turn on two-step verification.
- If you're threatened or extorted, contact your local police.
- Be wary of anyone who offers to recover lost funds for an upfront fee - that's a second scam.

Frequently asked questions
Can this website report a scam for me?
No. We point you to official reporting channels by country. You submit the report yourself on the official site, your bank, or the platform.
What should I do first if I paid a scammer?
Contact your bank or card/payment provider immediately to try to stop or reverse the transfer, then report to your national authority.
How do I know a reporting site is official?
Check the domain carefully - official sites usually use government, regulator, police, or recognised consumer-protection domains. When unsure, navigate from the official homepage yourself.
A reporting link is broken - what now?
Search the official government, regulator, or bank website directly, and tell us via the report-a-broken-link page so we can review it.
