🔍 Step 1: Recognize What Happened


Scammers use fear, urgency, and manipulation to trick you. The first step is understanding the type of scam you’ve encountered—whether it’s a phishing email, phone fraud, romance scam, or identity theft. Awareness is the foundation of defense.

 


📢 Step 2: Report the Scam


Reporting isn’t just about your case—it helps protect others too. Use these official channels:
• Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – File a complaint and access recovery resources.
• Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) – Report online fraud directly to the FBI.
• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) – For scams involving financial products or services.
• State and Local Agencies – Many states have dedicated fraud hotlines and consumer protection offices.


🛠️ Step 3: Protect Yourself Immediately


• Freeze your credit with major bureaus to stop identity thieves.
• Change compromised passwords and enable multi‑factor authentication.
• Contact your bank or credit card company to dispute charges and secure accounts.
• Alert family members so they can watch for suspicious activity.


📚 Step 4: Use Our Tools and Tips


We’ve curated guides, checklists, and infographics to help you:
• Spot red flags in scam messages.
• Respond safely to suspicious calls or emails.
• Build stronger digital habits to prevent future fraud.
• Access community workshops and podcasts for ongoing education.


🌍 Step 5: Rebuild Confidence


Getting scammed can leave you feeling helpless, but recovery is possible. With the right steps, you can regain control of your finances, your identity, and your peace of mind. Remember: every victim deserves more than a generic fix. You deserve clarity, strategy, and someone in your corner.
