What is the IC3?

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.

The IC3 was established in 2000 to collect and disseminate reports for investigative and intelligence purposes to law enforcement, and for public awareness on cybercrime issues. Anyone can be a victim of cyber-enabled crime, so we encourage the public to learn how you can protect yourself and your loved ones.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of a cyber-enabled crime, file a complaint with the IC3 at www.ic3.gov.

These scammer accounts may have mutual friends with you and even seem as if they live in your area and are in your age group. This is happening to children and adults all over. Please be sure you are monitoring your childrens devices and social media. Be leary of any account trying to "be your friend" that you don't know personally.

Financially motivated sextortion is a crime.

Parents, educators, caregivers, and young persons should be aware of how to stay safe online, the risks and warning signs, and how to report if you or someone you know is a victim: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/common-frauds-and-scams/sextortion/financially-motivated-sextortion
