Protect Yourself and Your Assets From Fraud, Scams, and Identity Theft

This is a free-of-charge, not-for-profit website. The site’s administration is dedicated to reducing fraud and scams and to simplifying the reporting process that follows victimization. Most of the data collected and disseminated on this site is based on reports from people trying to avoid a scam or from people who have already been victimized. All frauds or scams resulting in the loss of money, whether hard currency or cryptocurrency, should be reported to law enforcement, including local police and the FBI, via their Internet Crime Complaint Center (iC3) while trying to engage the offender to return the lost money. All scams or fraud reported to this site will be evaluated and may be edited and added to the “REPORTED FRAUD/SCAM TESTIMONIAL LIST”. Reported experiences will hopefully help you or someone else avoid becoming a victim. Companies or individuals accused of fraud or scams will have the opportunity to challenge their reported bad actions, but they will not be able to have bad reports removed without satisfying the reporter. This website is updated daily. The information you contributed to this website today will help someone sleep better tomorrow.

  • Share your experience here or at the FraudXScamX Community Blog

2. Do the Following If You Suspect You Have Been Defrauded, Scammed Or That You Identity Has Been Compromised:

  • Shore up weak links in your security. Scammers like to hit a second time.
  • Call FINRA Help Line for financial losses (833)-372-8311 or (844)-574-3527. FINRA does not take written claim reports but is usually the best first call for direction on other agencies to file claims.
  • Call the National Consumer Fraud Center for financial losses for advice on agencies to file claims (202)-207-2815.
  • Report to local police if you know the location or address of the scammer. If Police resist taking your claim insist.
  • For financial thefts file claim with FBI Complaint enter via their www.iC3.gov report form.

3. Do the Following If You Suspect You Have Been Defrauded, Scammed Or That You Identity Has Been Compromised:

  • If a bank is involved file a claim with the banking authority of the state where the home office of the bank or the OCC at www.OCC.gov.
  • If a broker is involved file a claim with the banking authority of the state of the home office of the broker and / or the SEC.
  • If a crypto wallet is involved, file claim with the financial authority of the state of the hom e office of that bank, brokerage or wallet and the FBI.
  • Fight back and defend your rights. Restore your lost identity. Understand that none of the government investigating agencies possess the authority or desire to force brokerage or other scammers to return your stolen money. Financial recovery is infrequent, but your efforts in filing and sharing your experiences will help someone else avoid your misfortune and will help make the job of the scammers harder.

LEGAL AND OTHER ACTIONS

  • If all other efforts fail, you may request arbitration through the DOJ or SEC.
  • Consider legal actions. Test the attorney's confidence in your case. Ask if the attorney will take your case pro-bono. Don't add to your losses.
  • Most claims with government agencies are added to their databases but do not become part of an independant investigation. A very small percentage of claims result in a return of losses.
  • Research recovery companies and attorneys vigorously before retaining. To date we have found none of these companies that can boast a high success rate or that will take cases probono. Remember talk is cheap which along with blind trust is probabably why you are in the situation you are in. FraudXScamX is constantly researching to find fraud and scam recovery companies and attorneys specializing in property or money recovery with notable track records but to date our researchers have found none. Keep checking back here for a list of such companies or leave your positive experience here to be included on our Testimonial List.
  • Identity recovery is more successful if you follow all recommended proceedures and remain dilegent to keep possession of your identity.

RESEARCH TO AVOID FRAUD OR SCAMS

  • Be suspicious of all propositions that sound too good to be true. Be suspicious of all proposals you are not able to research and confirm listed and governed by government agencies.
  • Say no to all requests for password and user name unformation to financial and social media sites.
  • Be suspect of browsers offering to save your passwords. Their interest may not be to commit fraud but to sell your information.

RESEARCH TO AVOID AND RECOVER FROM IDENTITY THEFT

  • Research by visiting other websites offering information on avoiding scams including those in the in the resource box below.
  • Reasearch but be extremely suspect of attorneys, attorney types and companys claiming to be specialists at recovering stolen funds. Remember that retainer fees paid to professionals who are not successful only add to you losses.
  • Add minimum two step verification to all financial account signin.
  • Consider authentication such as Norton Lifelock for financial account signin.
