You all know that how these ptc, hyip sites are scamming people and running away. But do you know that you can file complaints against online frauds to Internet Crime Complaint Center?
It was said to be established to receive Internet related criminal complaints and to refer the criminal complaints to regulatory agencies for investigation. A partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C)
An excerpt from the site:
The IC3 was intended, and continues to emphasize, serving the broader law enforcement community to include federal, as well as state, local, and international agencies, which are combating Internet crime and, in many cases, participating in Cyber Crime Task Forces.
So now, if you get scammed or come to know about any online fraud, then just file a complaint at IC3!
It is open for all international citizens.
let us get united against scammers and fraudsters!
Happy Mylotting!

Hi Wismay!
WAAAWW!! What a great solution for all the online business scam and internet frauds that most of us experienced. This is a great phenomena. Ammmmm, Is this organization or anti-scam team "IC3" have websites? What is the process of reporting? Can u post the website or any kind of blog/video turorials that will tell the people the process of reporting. Is this enabled to all countries ? Or is there an exception? Where is this located ? Is there any branch from different countries? :)

Yeah great! This would be really awesome. I've got only one word for the scammers' Beware'.
I would also like a website where all internet business website should register and prove their identity. This would minimize the scam rates.

Sounds great! I wish this is true, because there are so many scammers out there and most people are helpless about it. Do you have a link?

Hi Wismay...I know my post is kinda late but I am glad I found your discussion. At least we are now aware that there is an existing venue to air our complaints against scams. Nobody wants to become victims of scams and knowing that there is a way to address online conflicts/complaint is reassuring. Thank you for the information. I hope more legal remedies will become available for the internet users.
