Your contribution not only helps halt scammers but also empowers others with the knowledge to avoid becoming victims.
FBI - The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
The FBI offers valuable information on online caution at https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/safety-resources/scams-and-safety.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA)
The CIA provides an avenue to contact them or report information online at https://www.cia.gov/report-information/.
