Pick your country, get the official scam-reporting channel — 60+ countries covered. Reporting through the right channel matters: it can trigger bank reimbursement rules, freeze mule accounts, and feeds the takedowns that stop scam networks.
🌍 Where to Report a Scam — Country Lookup
Country missing? Universal fallback: your bank’s fraud line first, then national police, then search “[your country] CERT” for phishing-site reports.
Before you report: the first 30 minutes
Money moved? Bank fraud line first — recalls and freezes are time-critical. Then change your email and banking passwords, screenshot everything, and file the official report. The complete sequence is in our first-30-minutes guide, and if you're not sure whether a message is a scam, run it through the scam message analyzer.
Does reporting actually do anything?
Yes — three ways. It creates the paper trail banks require for reimbursement decisions. It feeds account-freezing systems (Malaysia's 997 and India's 1930 can stop a transfer mid-flight if you're fast). And aggregated reports are how authorities map and dismantle scam operations — the takedowns you read about are built from thousands of individual reports like yours.
