Internet Fraud Complaint Center

ByJoel Comm

With the increase in the use of the Internet, there is an increase in companies doing business over that medium. With an increase in this booming e-commerce arena, there unfortunately will be an increase in e-rip-offs. If you or someone you know thinks that they may have been taken advantage of, then today’s Family First Site is one you will want to visit.

Called the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, this site is a collaboration of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). Here you can find out what constitutes internet fraud, how to file and follow up on a complaint, how to resolve complaints, and statistics on this type of crime (currently under construction). There are also links to the FBI and the NW3C for visitors to find out more about those agencies.

This is a great site to visit, learn about, and bookmark. You may not need it now, but who knows what the future will bring. Enjoy your stop here today, and be sure to share it with a friend.

  1. One thing that really frustrates me is that all of these various “reporting” processes always are designed for VICTIMS, those who have already been swindled by some scam, phishing, whatever, yet there simply is no mechanism in place in the world of email for PREVENTION! By this I mean a simple set of email addresses [NOT HTML WEB FORMS!] to which recognized fraud/scam/medicine-show solicitations could be forwarded (including full headers, of course) so that victimization can be forestalled.
    After all, /attempted/ crimes are still crimes in most cases, and why not investigate, prosecute and prevent these online scams at the source, BEFORE any pondscum criminal profits a single cent?
