Report a Crime

If you’ve been a victim of an Internet crime, report it immediately to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (iC3) is an alliance between the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). For information on the iC3 click here.

Don't Be A Victim

Unsolicited requests for information are called "phishing". It’s pronounced "fishing," and that’s exactly what these thieves are doing: "fishing" for your personal financial information.

They want your account numbers, passwords, Social Security numbers and other confidential information to empty your checking account, run up your credit cards or - worse - make you the victim of identity theft.

Don't do it! Here's how "phishing" works...

Protect Yourself

The best way to protect your accounts, personal information and even your identity is to be well informed. Know what the thieves can do - and learn what you can do to protect yourself:

• Avoid being caught by a phishing scam
• Protect your identity while online - and yourself
• Fraud scams - telemarketing fraud, "account manager" scams, impersonation/identity fraud and advance-fee schemes
• What to do if you've given out personal information
