About Us

FraudXScamXDotCom Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fraud and scam prevention, reporting, and recovery support. We help individuals recognize scams before they happen, report fraud when it does, and navigate the often confusing process of recovery afterward — all at no charge.

Our mission is to make fraud prevention resources accessible to everyone — regardless of technical background — and to give scam victims a clear, trustworthy place to turn to when they need guidance.

Programs and Services 

FraudXScamXDotCom provides the following core services:

Scam & Fraud Reporting Guidance — Step-by-step help understanding where and how to report different types of fraud (financial platforms, cryptocurrency, phishing, romance scams, etc.), including which agencies or institutions to contact.

Prevention Education — Plain-language resources that explain common scam tactics and how to recognize and avoid them before financial harm occurs.

Recovery Support Resources — Guidance for victims already affected by fraud, including documentation tips, dispute processes, and where to seek further help (regulatory bodies, arbitration, legal aid resources).

History and Impact

FraudXScamXDotCom was self-funded after our founders experienced platform fraud firsthand and encountered the difficulties of finding clear, trustworthy guidance during the avoidance and recovery processes. These experiences became the basis for building a resource that didn't exist yet: a single place where scam victims and at-risk individuals could get straightforward, judgment-free help at no charge.

Since our founding, FraudXScamXDotCom has focused on publishing ongoing prevention guides, assisting site visitors along the way. With the aid of future contributors, we will partner with other private nonprofits and government agencies to reach and aid victims and potential victims in reducing or avoiding harm. As we grow, we will expand our library of resources, support tools, and personnel for the fraud-prevention community.

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

  • Confirm that you have been defrauded. Make sure this is not a situation you caused and changed your mind but regardless do the following:
  • Try to recover your stolen money or other valuables.
  • Call, email and / or mail the defrauder requesting return of your stolen money or other valuables. Include a detailed description of your accusation and what you want returned.
  • Threaten legal action.
  • Proceed to appropriate recommendations as indicated in boxes 2, 3, 4, etc.
  • Share your experience here or at the FraudXScamX Community Blog

2. Do the Following If You Suspect You Have Been Defrauded, Scammed Or That Your 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 Your 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 home 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 independent 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 probably 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 procedures and remain diligent 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 information 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.
