What to Do if You Get Scammed

Are you reading this because you’ve already been scammed and don’t want it to happen again? Here are some resources for scam victims.
The Better Business Bureau is a good place to start. You can file complaints against dishonest businesses with them. You can also check out those that you are considering doing business with to see if there are complaints against them, and how they were handled.
The National Fraud Information Center is a good place to report internet and telemarketing fraud.
Consumer Sentinel is a government site that takes consumer fraud and identity theft complaints. These complaints are shared with law enforcement agencies around the world to help stop the scammers.
There are also numerous scam forums, such as Scam.com. You can’t file an official complaint on them, but they are useful in getting the word out so that others won’t be scammed.
I will be putting these links up permanently in the links section, along with other useful links as I find them, for easy reference.
