United States scams

Scams in the United States: what to watch for and where to report them.

Start here for U.S.-focused scam information: common online scams, suspicious messages, payment scams, identity theft concerns, device and account risks, and the official places Americans can report fraud.

Official reporting options can differ by country.
Payment methods, agencies, and platform support may work differently depending on where you live.
Country pages should help you understand which local reporting options may apply before you submit personal details.
A scam can still fit a scam type, payment method, platform, identity concern, or account concern at the same time.

Common questions

Why start with a country page?

Start here when official reporting options, consumer agencies, local payment methods, or country-specific warnings may affect what you do next.

Is the United States page the only live country page right now?

Yes. Only the United States country page is linked here until more country-specific pages are ready.

Should I still compare the scam type?

Yes. Country information helps with reporting and local context, while the scam type helps explain what happened.
