Resources for Scams Targeting Seniors

The FBI has an Internet Crime Complaint center where you can report fraud.  It is https://www.ic3.gov/Home/FileComplaint.  You can also report it to your local police department.

If you believe the scammer has also stolen your identity, you can reach out to the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP or 1-877-ID-THEFT. They also have a place on their website, www.ftc.gov to file a consumer complaint or report identity theft.

If you are unsure about where to direct your scam complaint, you can call the FBI at (202) 324-3000.
