your complaint helps them investigate fraud, and can lead to law enforcement action. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing,
identity theft and other
fraud-related complaints
into Consumer Sentinel®, a secure, online database available
to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies worldwide.

US Postal
Inspection Service
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is the law enforcement branch of the U.S. Postal Service, empowered by federal laws and regulations to investigate and enforce over 200 federal statutes related to crimes against the U.S. Mail, the Postal Service and its employees.
Postal Inspectors investigate any crime in which the U.S. Mail is used to further a scheme, whether it originated in the mail, by telephone or on the Internet. The use of the U.S. Mail is what makes it a mail fraud issue.
If you feel you've been victimized in a mail fraud scheme that in any way involves the U.S. Mail, submit a Mail Fraud Complaint Form to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.  |
