On our new episode of Inside the FBI, we mark the 20th anniversary of the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), which serves both the public and law enforcement as a central repository for collecting reports about online #scams. fbi.gov/news/podcasts/…
The IC3 brings internet-enabled crime and #scam complaints together into one data source. Then, the #FBI is able to aggregate and draw connections between different frauds happening all over the country and all over the world.
Even now, during the #COVID19 crisis, scammers are trying to take advantage of fears surrounding COVID-19 to steal your money. Don’t let them! Protect yourself and do your research before donating, buying gift cards, or wiring money. fbi.gov/coronavirus
For more information about #scams and the IC3, visit fbi.gov/ic3turns20. If you have been the victim of an internet-enabled crime and you need to file a complaint, please go to ic3.gov.
