Helpful details include:
- How you received the communication (e.g., email, phone, text, website, social media)
- What type of information they asked for (e.g., contact details, financial information, etc.)
- The contact information of the sender and additional contact information provided in the communication (e.g., name, email address, phone number)
- A copy of the suspicious message or a summary of the call conversation with the potential scammer
If you provided financial information to a scam, please report the incident to your financial institution (bank), your credit card company and your local police.
