WELCOME TO THE INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is the central hub for reporting
cyber-enabled crime. It is run by the FBI, the lead federal agency for
investigating crime.

For more information about the IC3 and its mission, please see the About Us
page.


FILE A COMPLAINT WITH US

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please call 911 or your local
police.

The IC3 focuses on collecting cyber-enabled crime. Crimes against children
should be filed with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Other types of crimes, such as threats of terrorism, should be reported at
tips.fbi.gov.

File A Complaint


HOW YOU CAN HELP


 * TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.
   
   File a report to share information with the FBI. IC3 is the main intake form
   for a variety of complaints — everything from cyber-enabled frauds and scams
   to cybercrime — so file a report even if you are unsure of whether your
   complaint qualifies.


 * YOUR CONTRIBUTION AND OUR MISSION.
   
   Your report helps us fulfill our mission of protecting the American people.
   While we cannot guarantee a response to every complaint, your report is still
   valuable. It helps us understand the broader threat landscape. Furthermore,
   in those cases where we are able to take action, we will work to provide
   justice.


 * PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
   
   If you have suffered from a cyber-enabled crime, please know that you are not
   alone. Use the resources on this site to learn more about how to protect
   yourself and others from cybercrime.


PROTECTING OUR DIGITALLY-CONNECTED WORLD IS A TOP PRIORITY AND FOCUS OF THE FBI


WE NEED YOU

Between staying connected with family and friends, shopping and banking online,
and working remotely, we all depend on security in our interconnected digital
world. Criminals from every corner of the globe attack our digital systems on a
near constant basis. They strike targets large and small — from corporate
networks to personal smart phones. No one — and no device — is immune from the
threat. The only way forward is together. In cyber security, where a single
compromise can impact millions of people, there can be no weak links. Every
organization and every individual needs to take smart, reasonable steps to
protect their own devices and systems and to learn how to spot and avoid scams.

Chart includes loss data for the years 2019 to 2023. Over this time period, over
$37 billion dollars were reported lost.
For more information, please read our most recent Annual Reports:
Annual Report
Cryptocurrency Report
Elder Fraud Report


THE INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT TO IC3 MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Combined with other data, it allows the FBI to investigate reported crimes,
track trends and threats, and, in some cases, even freeze stolen funds. Just as
importantly, IC3 shares reports of crime throughout its vast network of FBI
field offices and law enforcement partners, strengthening our nation’s
collective response both locally and nationally.

Due to the massive number of complaints, we receive each year, IC3 cannot
respond directly to every submission, but please know we take each report
seriously. With your help, we can and will respond faster, defend cyber networks
better, and more effectively protect our nation.
