Every report makes the database stronger. Here is the path your information takes after you submit it.
Report
Share what happened and include details like phone numbers, emails, websites, payment methods, or messages you received to help others recognize similar scams.
Review
BBB reviews each report before it is published. Your name and personal contact information are never displayed publicly on Scam Tracker.
Publish
Verified reports are added to the public Scam Tracker database, where anyone can search them, helping neighbors, businesses, and law enforcement spot scams faster.
- You will receive a confirmation when your report is submitted.
- Your personal information is never displayed publicly.
