Consumers are using the Internet now more than ever. You can buy almost anything, plan a trip, or even do your banking through your computer. Unfortunately, not all people offering services online are legitimate, and sometimes Internet crime occurs. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center, established to address fraud and other types of crime committed over the Internet. If you have been a victim of Internet crime, you should report the violation through the IC3.

For more information or to file a complaint, visit the Internet Crime Complaint Center website.
