Who Should I Report an Email Scam to?

Angelwings asked:

I had placed an ad online for an expensive piece of equipment, and I received an email from someone saying they wanted to buy it — they sent about three emails sounding all sincere, talking about what they were going to do with the product, etc. I gave them my address to send payment, and they replied that they’d paid online — which I checked and it’s a spoof version of a real website called AlertPay, which instructed me to ship the product before I got paid — clearly a scam. Now, I know that I could just forward the correspondance to the real AlertPay to help them track frauds, but my question is: Isn’t there anything else I can do? It just makes me mad to know that someone is out there illegally scamming people out of lots of money, especially preying on those who maybe aren’t intelligent enough to see through it — I mean, that’s just sad…. (not to mention illegal). For instance, is there any law-enforcement agency?.. fbi division..? etc. I can report this to? Thanks :)

Need Advice/opinions-Met an online dating con artist?

Wee Girl asked:


Met a 42 yr old caucasian man in Las Vegas off one of the online dating profiles a few months ago. In the beginning of the first 2 weeks, he was accessible and would call/text often to see how i was doing. Soon after that, calls were less frequent and I did not realize until recently as I was filtering thru my pic text that there were 2 additional numbers on those pics that he sent to as well. We had stopped talking about 3 weeks ago as his stories were starting to get inconsistent and he would NEVER pick up his phone in the evening or say he never got my text. I called him on all the inconsistencies and he just said that he didnt want to argue with me anymore and hung up on me. I did not hear from him again following that, but did get a text a week later to wish me a happy bday.

I now am back on the online dating scene, but with a diff company and I find his profile on there. I read thru it and it all makes sense that he is online looking to scam women (only specifically asian women) to help him invest in his wine bar that he is looking to open this yr. From his profile he states he is in no hurry or “need” to be in a relationship,but is looking for a partner who shares the same dreams, drive, and visions as he does. If a woman was to read that, what opinions would you be able to formulate from that? I feel like he has been playing with multiple women all this time and will continue to do so until he finds the one that he can help him invest. He never gave me the reason as to why he didnt want to have any type contact with me, but now i am realizing that he had a “secret” agenda the whole time and if you did not have what he wanted, he moves onto the next unsuspected prey. How do I stop him from manipulating more asian women like myself? He will be considered very ill willed in the online dating world if he continues this. I cannot report a concern as I do not have proof other than from experience. I do believe in Karma and know that all this will come tumbling down on him sooner or later. he has now changed his number as well as I tried to call out of curiosity. He wants to be out of siteo ut of mind, that is why he chooses on his profile that he is looking to meet women 250 miles from Vegas, so they cannot know what he does thruout the week because of the distance.

Luis L asked:


i received an e-mail from a person (which i believe i responded to on craiglist) for a cleaning position that stated that this person needed someone to clean his home (which he will use for honeymoon with brand new wife) three days a week 4 hours a day for $550 a week. hes coming from denmark but is currently in london (sounds like a business man) and wants to forward to me $600 with an excess amount on it for the Traveling agent to book a flight for them to come down some other materials need in the house so that every will be more perfect. he says his financier is in the states and will send me the money for my first weeks charges and of course he asks for my name,adress,city,state,zip,phone#,gender,marital status etc to get to know a little more of me and also to be able to send the $600. how does this sound to you?

what email addy do I contact about a fraud lottery “win” from the UK? I want to report this to the proper law

brucemariek asked:


We recieved an email for a “winning” 2nd place UK online lottery. We would like to report this email to the proper law enforcement agencies in the USA and the UK so they can arrest the people who are doing this fraud. Its just a ploy to get banking details so they can rob people. We need real email or snail mail addys to forward/send this email to for investigation and prosecution. We need to help stop this kind of fraud before some innocent, pc illiterate person falls for the scam and loses all their life savings unknowingly.
