INTERNET FRAUD

Internet fraud involves transactions initiated via the Internet. This includes credit card fraud, investment fraud, Nigerian letter scams, business fraud, and non-delivery of merchandise.  If you feel you are a victim of Internet fraud, you need to file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).  The website to file the complaint is www.ic3.gov.  The site also contains fraud prevention tips and detailed information regarding Internet fraud.  The IC3 will process the complaint and forward a copy to the law enforcement agency where the suspect resides.  Ultimately, the agency where the suspect resides will handle the investigation.
