Submit a Scam Example
Seen a scam recently? Sharing the details helps us spot patterns and write better educational content for everyone. Submissions are reviewed privately by our team for research purposes — they are never published or attributed anywhere on this site.
Before you submit: please don’t include personal information
To keep this process safe for everyone, do not include:
- Your own name, email address, phone number, or physical address
- Any other person’s name, email address, or phone number
- Financial account numbers, passwords, or ID numbers
- Screenshots or photos (they often contain hidden personal details)
Just describe what happened in general terms — that’s exactly what’s useful to us. For example, instead of “John Smith called me from 555-1234 pretending to be my bank,” write “I received a call from someone pretending to be my bank, claiming there was suspicious activity on my account.”
