Take Action

Report Abuse

File complaints directly with regulatory agencies and platforms to shut down scam operations.

Why Report?

Every complaint creates a paper trail. Even if your individual case doesn't trigger immediate action, patterns emerge when multiple victims report the same operation. Regulatory agencies track complaint volume—your report could be the one that tips the scales.
