FTC phù hợp nhất để ghi nhận mẫu gian lận tiêu dùng, không thay thế hành động khẩn cấp của ngân hàng hoặc cảnh sát

If you were targeted by online fraud, a fake merchant, impersonation, identity theft, or another consumer scam in the US, an FTC report helps create an official record, but it should run in parallel with bank, platform, and police actions.

Stabilize funds and accounts first

If cards, bank transfers, or compromised accounts are involved, contact the financial institutions and change credentials before spending all your time on the form.

Submit the core facts through the FTC portal

Use a clear timeline showing how contact started, what was promised, what you paid, and what happened next.

Keep the submission confirmation

Save the confirmation page, email, or reference details so the report can be shared with banks, police, or legal teams later.

Cần làm gì sau khi nộp

Continue with bank, card-issuer, exchange, or platform escalations
Add the FTC confirmation and your evidence pack to the rest of your recovery plan
If the risk is still active, also consider local police reporting or an IC3 filing where relevant

Câu Hỏi Thường Gặp

Will the FTC directly recover my money?
Usually no. The FTC is mainly useful for documenting consumer fraud and identifying patterns. Recovery usually still depends on banks, card issuers, platforms, and police.
Should I file the FTC report before contacting my bank?
No. Handle the money movement first with the bank or card issuer, then file the FTC report as soon as practical.
Can I use the FTC if I am outside the US?
You can review the guidance, but in most cases you should prioritize the official reporting route in your own jurisdiction.
