IF SOMETHING DOESN’T FEEL RIGHT

Act promptly. Keep the evidence.

If you sent money and suspect fraud, contact your bank or brokerage now. Do not wait for a response from this website.

Stop any further transfer.

Ask your financial institution’s fraud team whether a recall, hold or other protective action is possible. Recovery is not guaranteed. Use contact details you obtain independently.

01

Preserve the original records

Keep emails, messages, advertisements, website addresses, legal documents, beneficiary details, transfer confirmations and a dated timeline. Store them securely; do not upload private records here.

02

Report to the relevant authorities

Use the official links on this page. Different agencies serve different purposes. Keep a copy of each submission and its reference number.

03

Watch for a second approach

Do not pay an unsolicited recovery fee or “release tax.” Independently verify anyone claiming to be a regulator, investigator or recovery professional.

04

Consider independent legal advice

A qualified lawyer can discuss possible remedies, evidence and deadlines for your circumstances. Filing a regulatory complaint is not the same as bringing a legal claim.

This page is a resource, not an official reporting service. We do not submit complaints, investigate crimes, provide legal representation or recover money. There is no email gate for these resources.
