Report a scam · Updated October 2026

How to Report a Scam: Website, Crypto and Online Trading

To report a scam you write what happened once and file it with the channel that can act: the bank or the card scheme, the police or the national fraud site, and the platform you actually used. We investigate losses as a cybersecurity company — we do not replace the bank, the card scheme, or the police.

The channels

Where a report actually goes

  • Bank or card: a dispute or a recall for the payment you made.
  • Police or national fraud site: the official crime report.
  • Regulator: if the name claimed a licence.
  • The real platform: if you used a clone of a real brand.
  • This file: the date, how you paid, and one screenshot — so the investigation can sit next to the public record.
One story, several desks

Report a scam website the same way you report a trading scam

The form changes. The facts do not. Name the URL, the date, the payment method and the person who asked. That is how to report a scam without writing a different novel for each desk.

We do not file the police report for you. We investigate the file and tell you what to send next.

Order

What to do first

  • Stop paying.A new fee is a second charge, not a step toward a report.
  • Screenshot the site and the chat.A scam website can go dark the same day.
  • Call the bank or the card if you used them.Then file the official report. Then send the same record here.
What to write

A report that other people can use

URL and date

Report a scam website by the domain you typed or clicked, not the brand in the ad.

Payment

Card last four, bank reference or crypto tx. Do not send full card numbers here.

Online trading or crypto

Say which. Report an online trading scam and report a crypto scam with the same four facts: who, where, when, how paid.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do I report a scam in the US, UK or EU?

Start with your bank or card issuer, then the national fraud or cybercrime site in your country, then the police if they take the report. We are not those desks.

Do I report the website or the person?

Both if you have both. The domain is the page. The handle is the ask. The payment is the trail.

Will you report it for me?

No. We investigate the file. You file with the bank, the card scheme or the police. The first look here is free.
